Solve for x: 5x+7=3x−9.

Mathematics

To solve for x in the given equation;

5x+7=3x-9

We start by collecting like terms, as follows;

5x-3x=-9-7

When a number crosses the sign of equality, the sign in front of it switches. Positive numbers becomes negative, and vice versa.

We would now have;

\begin{gathered} 5x-3x=-9-7 \\ 2x=-16 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2;} \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-16}{2} \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The answer is x = -8

In △ABC, m∠A = α, m∠B = β, m∠C = γ. AB = c, AC = b, BC = a. Find the areas of the triangles if the following parts are given.
Mazyrski [523]
A = c/sin C, and b by the proportion b/sin B = c/sin C.

a/sin 37° = 4380/sin 109°
a sin 109° = 4380 sin 37°
a = 4380 sin 37°/sin 109° ≈ 2787.8

b/sin 34° = 4380/sin 109°
b sin 109° = 4380 sin 34°
b = 4380 sin 34°/sin 109° ≈ 2590.4

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3&lt;1/7x+1 1/2
Mashcka [7]

Answer: x

Step-by-step explanation:

1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

Add 2\frac{1}{3} on both sides and subtract \frac{1}{7}x on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x

Solve the fractions.

1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x

1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x

1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x

1(\frac{2}{35} )x

1\frac{2}{35}x

Convert the mixed fraction 1\frac{2}{35} to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

\frac{37}{35}x

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x

x
