3(x + 1) = 5(x - 2) + 7

Distribute 3 and 5 inside their respective parentheses.

3x + 3 = 5x - 10 + 7

Combine like terms.

3x + 3 = 5x - 3

Add 3 to both sides.

3x + 6 = 5x

Subtract 3x from both sides.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

<h3>x = 3</h3>

GEOMETRY PLEASE HELP ME URGENT

Basile [38]

Converse (switch p and q)
If an angle is obtuse, then it measures 128°

This is false (a 127° angle is obtuse, but it does not measure 128°)

_____________________________________________________________

Inverse (negations of p and q)
If an angle does not measure 128°, then it is not obtuse

This is false (a 127° angle does not measure 128°, but it is obtuse)

_____________________________________________________________

Contrapositive (negations of p and q, then switch their places)

If an angle is not obtuse, it does not measure 128°

This is true (any 128° is obtuse; no exceptions)

An observer stands 25 feet from the base of a flagpole and watches a flag being lowered at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Determine the rat

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.1 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance from or to the flagpole is not given, I will assume. And my assumption is 50 ft

Now, the elevation angle A = 45 degrees, converting to radians, we have π/4 radians

Remember that the tan of an angle is OPP/HYP, and so

tan A = h/25, on differentiating, we have

d tan A/dA = sec^2 A = (1/25) dh/dA

Next, we have

25 sec^2 A * dA/dt= dh/dt = 5

Making dA/dt the subject of formula, we have

dA/dt = (1/5) cos^2 A

but cos^2 A from trigonometry = 1/2, this means that

dA/dt = .1 radians/second

If you want to convert to degrees, your have

.1 Rad/s( 180 deg/rad) = 18 degrees/second

To qualify for the championship a runner must complete the race in less than 55 minutes ....... Use "t" to represent the time in

Svet_ta [14]

The inequality is t < 55

<em><u>Solution</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

Given that, To qualify for the championship a runner must complete the race in less than 55 minutes

Let "t" represent the time in minutes of a runner who qualifies for the championship

Here it is given that the value of t is less than 55 minutes

Therefore, "t" must be less than 55, so that the runner qualifies the championship

<em><u>This is represented by inequality:</u></em>

$t$

The above inequality means, that time taken to complete the race must be less than 55 for a runner to qualify

Hence the required inequality is t < 55
