5x-20+2= -173
5x-18= -173
5x= -155
x= -31
First, you multiply everything in parentheses by 5 and then add the 2. Next, you subtract 20-2 which will give you -18. Then, you add 18 to both sides which will give you -155. Finally, you divide -155 by 5 to give you a final answer of -31.

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To get the value of x, we will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173

1- get rid of the brackets:
5x - 5(4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173

2- Combine like terms:
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18  = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155

3- Get rid of the coefficient of the x:
5x = -155
x = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

Show that <br>sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2​
hammer [34]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

show that

sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2​

From LHS

sinx/1+cosx

According to half angle

sinx = 2sinx/2 cosx/2

cosx = cos²x/2 - sin²x/2

cosx = cos²x/2 - (1- cos²x/2)

cosx = 2cos²x/2 - 1

cos x + 1 = 2cos²x/2

Substitute into the expression;

sinx/1+cosx

= (2sinx/2 cosx/2)/2cos²x/2

= sinx.2/cos x/2

Since tan x = sinx/cosx

Hence sinx/2/cos x/2 = tan x/2 (RHS)

This shows that sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the  expression could help you find the distance between A(x; y) and B(x',y')is:

AB = √((x-x')²+(y-y')²)

in this exercise  :  x = 10

                             x' = - 6

                              y =4

                             y' = 4

Simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator √15/√6x
noname [10]

Answer:

√10/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by √6 on the top and bottom to rationalize the denominator.

(√15×√6)/(√6x×√6) = √90/6x = (√9×√10)/6x = 3√10/6x = √10/2x
