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 :)

Ayodele received a raise in her hourly pay, from $24.50 to $25.48. Find the percent change.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

The raise in her hourly pay is

$25.48-$24.50 =$0.98

Cross multiplying (rule of three)

24.50------100%

0.98--------x%

and so, x= 0.98*100/24.5 = 4%

Can someone PLEASE help me with Trigonometry???
Svetach [21]
\bf sin^2(2\theta)-7sin(2\theta)-1=0\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sin(2\theta)=\cfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\implies sin(2\theta)=\cfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49+4}}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin(2\theta)=\cfrac{7\pm\sqrt{53}}{2}\implies 2\theta=sin^{-1}\left( \frac{7\pm\sqrt{53}}{2} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\theta=\cfrac{sin^{-1}\left( \frac{7\pm\sqrt{53}}{2} \right)}{2}

but anyway, the numerator will give the angles, and θ is just half of each

\bf \theta=\cfrac{sin^{-1}\left( \frac{7\pm\sqrt{53}}{2} \right)}{2}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sin^{-1}\left( \frac{7+\sqrt{53}}{2} \right)\implies sin^{-1}(7.14)\impliedby \textit{greater than 1, no good}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin^{-1}\left( \frac{7-\sqrt{53}}{2} \right)\implies sin^{-1}(-0.14) \approx -8.05^o&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\theta=\cfrac{-8.05}{2}\implies \theta=-4.025

ok... that's a negative tiny angle, is in the 4th quadrant, if we stick to the range given, from 0 to 360, so we have to use the positive version of it, 360-4.025

so the angle is 355.975°

now, the 3rd quadrant has another angle whose sine is negative, so... if we move from the 180° line down by 4.025, we end up at 184.025°

and those are the only two angles, because, on the 2nd and 1st quadrants, the sine is positive, so it wouldn't have an angle there
