Which Is A Correct First Step For Solving This Equation? -5(4x-7)+8=3x

Mathematics

I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question, so I will just solve the equation.

-5 (4x - 7) + 8 = 3x

-5 (4x + (-7)) + 8 = 3x

1. Distributive Property of Multiplication

(-5)(4x) + (-5)(-7) + 8 = 3x

2. Simplify

-20x + (-35) + 8 = 3x

3. Simplify again

-20x - 27 = 3x

4. Add 27 to both sides and then subtract 3x from both sides to get all the x's by themselves on the same side

-20x - 27 + 27 = 3x + 27

-20x - 3x = 3x + 27 - 3x

5. Simplify

-23x = 27

6. Divide

-23x / -23 = 27 / -23

7. Simplify

Answer:

<h2>x = - 27/23 ≈ -1.17</h2>

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

(3)

Given cosΘ = - \frac{4}{5}

Then by Pythagoras' theorem the third side is 3 ( 3,4, 5 triangle )

Since Θ in second quadrant then sinΘ > 0

sinΘ = \frac{3}{5}

Using the trigonometric identity

sin2Θ = 2sinΘcosΘ, then

sin2Θ = 2 × \frac{3}{5} × - \frac{4}{5} = - \frac{24}{25}

(4)

Using the trigonometric identity

cos(x - y) = cosxcosy + sinxsiny

note cos15° = cos(45 - 30)°

cos(45 - 30) = cos45cos30 + sin45sin30

                    = ( \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}) + (\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} × \frac{1}{2})

                    = \frac{\sqrt{2(\sqrt{3}+1) } }{4}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

consider the left side

factor the numerator

cosx - cos³x = cosx(1 - cos²x)

\frac{cosx(1-cos^2x)}{sinx}[/tex = [tex]\frac{cosxsin^2x}{sinx}

cancel sinx on numerator/denominator

= cosxsinx =right side ⇒ verified

(5)

Consider the left side

expand the factors

(1 + cotΘ)² + (1 - cotΘ)²

= 1 + 2cotΘ + cot²Θ + 1 - 2cotΘ + cot²Θ

= 2 + 2cot²Θ

= 2(1 + cot²Θ) ← 1 + cot²Θ = cosec²Θ

= 2cosec²Θ = right side ⇒ verified

(6)

Consider the left side

the denominator simplifies to

cosxtanx = cosx × \frac{sinx}{cosx} = sinx

\frac{sin^2x(secx+cosecx)}{sinx}

= sinx( \frac{1}{cosx} + \frac{1}{sinx})

= \frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{sinx}{sinx}

= tanx + 1 = right side ⇒ verified
