X = mary's shells
g = 1 1/4x + 5
n = 1 1/2x+ 1
g = n

1 1/4x + 5 = 1 1/2x + 1
5/4x + 5 = 3/2x + 1...multiply by common denominator of 4, this will get rid of fractions...however, this is optional...u can work with fractions if u wish.
5x + 20 = 6x + 4
5x - 6x = 4 - 20
-x = - 16
x = 16....so Mary has 16 shells

What is 2x+19 but dont use factors
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are solving for the equation 2x + 19 = 0, the steps are as follows.

2x+19=0

2x = - 19 (Move the 19 over to the other side)

x = - 9 1/2 (divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself.)

Solve for x.<br><br> Help please
MAVERICK [17]
X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

If cot theta= 4/3, find csc theta
Marrrta [24]

Answer: Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric identity needed is:

csc^2\theta=cot^2\theta+1

Knowing that cot\theta=\frac{4}{3}:

Substitute it into csc^2\theta=cot^2\theta+1:

csc^2\theta=(\frac{4}{3})^2+1

Simplify the expression:

csc^2\theta=(\frac{4}{3})^2+1\\\\csc^2\theta=\frac{16}{9}+1\\\\csc^2\theta=\frac{25}{9}

Solve for csc\theta. Apply square root at both sides of the expression:

\sqrt{csc^2\theta}=\±\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}

csc\theta=\frac{5}{3}
