Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

x=2

Find the height of the giraffe in the diagram. Show your work below.​
dlinn [17]

The distance from the person to the mirror is 5 ft. The distance from the mirror to the giraffe is 15 ft.

15/5 = 3

Multiply the height of the person by 3:

5 ft = 60 inches 60+3 = 63 inches

63 x 3 = 189 inches

189/12 = 15.75 ft = 15 feet 9 inches

The giraffe is 15 ft 9 inches tall

Mark rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

P ( X > 5 ) = 72,2 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success ( outcomes bigger than 5 )

If dice  1  outcome is 6 no matter wich outcome we get from dice 2 all events are successful, the we have 6 outcomes

If dice 1 outcome is 5  we also have  6 outcomes

If dice 1  outcomes is 4 we have 5 positive outcomes

If dice 1  outcome is 3  we have 4 positive outcomes

If dice 1  outcome is 2  we have 3 positive outcomes

if dice 1  outcome is 1  we have 2 positive outcomes

Total evaluating dice 1: positive outcomes 26

We will get the sames results analysing  dice 2 then we have a total of

52 successful events

And total numbers of outcomes is 36 + 36 = 72

Then

P ( X > 5 ) = 52/72  

P ( X > 5 ) = 0,722    

P ( X > 5 ) = 72,2 %

I really don’t get this , it’s graphing linear inequalities
ElenaW [278]

The first step in graphing a linear inequality is to graph the linear equality. The equation -x + 4y = -8 is equivalent to 4y = x - 8, which is equivalent to y = \frac{1}{4}x - 2. This is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form, so the line will have a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of -2 (see the first image). Notice that the line is solid, rather than dotted. This represents that points on the line are included in the solution, because the inequality sign is ≥, which is not a strict equality (< or >).

Next, we need to figure out which side to shade. To do so, simply pick any point (I like to use the point (0,0) because it makes the calculations easy) and see whether it satisfies the inequality. If it does, shade the side with that point, and if not, shade the opposite side of the graph.

Here we see that the point (0,0) does satisfy the inequality, since -(0) + 4(0) is 0, and 0 ≥ -8, so the top half of the graph should be shaded (see the second image).
