What is the value of x in this equation? 5x + 12 = -18

Mathematics

Answer:

<em>x</em><em> </em>= -6

Explanation:

First we collect like terms

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-18</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em>

( because when both signs are the same we add them)

Then we decide both sides by five so that only x will remain

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-6</em>

Thus, the value of <em>x</em><em> </em>is -6

Answer:

x = −6

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to start off by simplifying the equation! Then, I use inverse operations to narrow it down until I reach the answer!

5x + 12= −18

5x + 12 <u>− 12</u>= −18 <u>− 12 </u>

5x = −30

5x<u>/5</u> = -30<u>/5</u>

<u>x = -6</u>

Ket [755]

Answer:

2.meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of ladder = 4 m

θ = 30°

To obtain h;

Using Pythagoras rule :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Hypotenus = 4 ; opposite = h

Sin 30 = h / 4

0.5 = h / 4

h = 0.5 * 4

h = 2 m

Hence, distance between th efoot of ladder and the base of the wall is 2 m

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

2x + y = 5

y = 4x – 1

Substitute (2, 1) into system, then:

2x + y = 5  => 2 x 2 + 1 = 5 => 5 = 5 (satisfied)

y = 4x– 1   => 4 x 2 - 1 = 1  => -7 = 1 (not satisfied)

=> Option 3 is correct.

Hope this helps!
