Answer:

<h2>x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4-x)=7x+2\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(8)(4)+(8)(-x)=7x+2\\\\32-8x=7x+2\qquad\text{subtract 32 from both sides}\\\\32-32-8x=7x+2-32\\\\-8x=7x-30\qquad\texy{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-8x-7x=7x-7x-30\\\\-15x=-30\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-15)}\\\\\dfrac{-15x}{-15}=\dfrac{-30}{-15}\\\\x=2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(4 - x) = 7x + 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

32 - 8x = 7x + 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

32 - 15x = 2 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

- 15x = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

x = 2

Csc²x - 1

1/sin²x  -  1

1/sin²x  -  sin²x / sin²x

(1 - sin²x) / sin²x

Recall that sin²x + cos²x = 1

So cos²x = 1 - sin²x

So we can replace numerator to cos²x

cos²x / sin²x
 
= cot²x

Final answer: cot²x

Y = 0.213x – 352.0 <span> represents this linear model shown in the data table.
Plug in the values of x into the equation for a double check.
Let's try 1980.

</span><span>y = 0.213(1980) – 352.0
</span>y = 69.74
which is closest to the 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.
