OK. I used my calculator to evaluate sec(85 degrees).
My calculator doesn't have a "sec" button on it.
But I remembered that
sec of an angle = 1 / (cosine of the same angle) .
So I used my calculator to find cos(85), and then I hit the
" 1/x " key, and got 11.474, which I knew to be sec(85).
Answer:
X=7 because 88=12x+4. Simple math gives you x=7
Part A: first multiply 2 by x and -3, then combine the like terms, after that add 6 from both sides, then subtract 6x from both side, the answer is -5.
4x + 2(x-3) = 4x + 2x - 11
4x +2x -6 = 4x + 2x - 11
6x -6 = 6x - 11
6x = 6x -11 +6
6x = 6x -5
6x-6x= -5
0 = -5
part B) add the like terms
Answer:
x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
9 = 2x + 8
Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.
1 = 2x
Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x
1/2 = x
This means that the answer is x = 1/2.
