Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

1 answer:

5 0

3 (x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Simplify.

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Add like terms.

(3x+4x) + (6-20) = 10

Simplify.

7x - 14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides of the equation.

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7 so that X is by itself.

x = 24/7, or 3 3/7

Answer: see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B = C → A = C - B

→ B = C - A

Use the Double Angle Identity: cos 2A = 2 cos² A - 1

→ (cos 2A + 1)/2 = cos² A

Use Sum to Product Identity: cos A + cos B = 2 cos [(A + B)/2] · 2 cos [(A - B)/2]

Use Even/Odd Identity: cos (-A) = cos (A)

<u>Proof LHS → RHS:</u>

LHS: cos² A + cos² B + cos² C

$\text{Double Angle:}\qquad \dfrac{\cos 2A+1}{2}+\dfrac{\cos 2B+1}{2}+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(2+\cos 2A+\cos 2B\bigg)+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\cos 2A+\cos 2B\bigg)+\cos^2 C$

$\text{Sum to Product:}\quad 1+\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg[2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A-2B}{2}\bigg)\bigg]+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+\cos (A+B)\cdot \cos (A-B)+\cos^2 C$

$\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad 1+\cos C\cdot \cos (A-B)+\cos^2C$

$\text{Factor:}\qquad \qquad 1+\cos C[\cos (A-B)+\cos C]$

$\text{Sum to Product:}\quad 1+\cos C\bigg[2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{A-B+C}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A-B-C}{2}\bigg)\bigg]\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A+(C-B)}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{-B-(C-A)}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A+A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{-B-B}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C \cdot \cos A\cdot \cos (-B)$

$\text{Even/Odd:}\qquad \qquad 1+2\cos C \cdot \cos A\cdot \cos B\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \quad =1+2\cos A \cdot \cos B\cdot \cos C$

LHS = RHS: 1 + 2 cos A · cos B · cos C = 1 + 2 cos A · cos B · cos C $\checkmark$

a supermarket sells 2 kg and 4 kg of sugar a shipment of 1100 bags of sugar has a total mass of 2900 kg. How many 2 kg bags and

Vaselesa [24]

There are 750 (2 kg) bags and 350 (4 kg) bags in the shipment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A supermarket sells 2 kg and 4 kg of sugar a shipment of 1100 bags of sugar
The total mass of the sugar is 2900 kg

We need to find how many 2 kg bags and 4 kg bags are in the shipment

Assume that x represents the number of 2 kg bags and y represents the number of 4 kg bags

∵ x is the number of 2 kg bags

∵ y is the number of 4 kg bags

∵ The total number of bags are 1100

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 1100

∴ x + y = 1100 ⇒ (1)

∵ The total mass of sugar is 2900 kg

- Multiply x by 2 and y by 4 to find the mass of the bags, then

add the two product and equate them by 2900

∴ 2x + 4y = 2900 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -2 to eliminate x

∴ -2x - 2y = -2200 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 2y = 700

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = 350

- Substitute the value of y in equation (1) to find x

∵ x + 350 = 1100

- Subtract 350 from both sides

∴ x = 750

There are 750 (2 kg) bags and 350 (4 kg) bags in the shipment
