Answer:
x=1.5
or
x=1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-7>-1
add 7 to both sides
4x=6
divide by 4 on both sides
x=1.5
or
x=1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Well in general, we can represent subtraction as: 
"z" represents the difference, and it really just represents x with y taken away. So if we were to "give back" this y value, we should get "x".
This means that: 
So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.
Answer: Side a equals 19.5 metres
Step-by-step explanation: Consider the right angled triangle as shown in the picture attached. The triangle has been drawn with angle measuring 43 degrees, side c (line AB) measuring 26.7 m and side a (line CB) is yet unknown.
A right angled triangle can be solved if at least one side and an angle are available. In this question we shall apply the trigonometric ratios since we have one angle which shall be the reference angle (43°). Also we have an hypotenuse (the side facing the right angle) and an unknown side which is the adjacent (which lies between the right angle and the reference angle).
Cos B = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Cos 43 = a/26.7
Cos 43 x 26.7 = a
0.7314 x 26.7 = a
19.52714 = a
a ≈ 19.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore the length of side a equals 19.5 metres.
Answer:
Tn = 64-4n
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an AP is expressed as:
Tn = a+(n-1)d
a is the common difference
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
Given the 6th term a6 = 40
T6 = a+(6-1)d
T6 = a+5d
40 = a+5d ... (1)
Given the 20th term a20 = -16
T20 = a+(20-1)d
T20 = a+19d
-16 = a+19d... (2)
Solving both equation simultaneously
40 = a+5d
-16 = a+19d
Subtracting both equation
40-(-16) = 5d-19d
56 = -14d
d = 56/-14
d = -4
Substituting d = -4 into equation
a+5d = 40
a+5(-4) = 40
a-20 = 40
a = 20+40
a = 60
Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:
Tn = a+(n-1)d
Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)
Tn = 60+(-4n+4)
Tn = 60-4n+4
Tn = 64-4n
Since the variable x has an invisible one next to it, which is 1x, it is 6x.
