2x-3=55
You solve the equation as follows:
2x-3=55
-3 -3
2x=52
/2 /2
x= 26
The number is 26

29
2x29=58-3 =55
3-2x (x=29) =55
29x2=58-3

Please I need help on solving for x

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$34^o=1/2((3x-2)^0-(x+6)^o)$

$68^o=3x^o-2^o-x^o-6^o$

$68^o+8^o=2x^o-8+8^o$

$76^o=2x^o-->x=38^o$

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\textsf{\textbf{x=38}}}}}$

Triangle RST has vertices located at R (2, 3), S (4, 4), and T (5, 0).

LiRa [457]

The length of the sides are 2.24, 4.24 and 4.12 units while the slope are 0.5, -1 and -4.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

For RS:

$Length = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(4-2)^2}=2.24 \\
\\
slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{4-3}{4-2}=0.5$

For RT:

$Length = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(5-2)^2}=4.24 \\
\\
slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{0-3}{5-2}=-1$

For ST:

$Length = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}=\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(5-4)^2}=4.12 \\
\\
slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{0-4}{5-4}=-4$

The length of the sides are 2.24, 4.24 and 4.12 units while the slope are 0.5, -1 and -4.

Calculus: Help ASAP

wariber [46]

$\bf \displaystyle \int~\cfrac{sec^2(x)}{\sqrt{1+tan(x)}}\cdot dx\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
u=1+tan(x)\implies \cfrac{du}{dx}=sec^2(x)\implies \cfrac{du}{sec^2(x)}=dx\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\displaystyle \int~\cfrac{\underline{sec^2(x)}}{\sqrt{u}}\cdot\cfrac{du}{\underline{sec^2(x)}}\implies \int~\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{u}}\cdot du\implies \int~u^{-\frac{1}{2}}\cdot du
\\\\\\
2u^{\frac{1}{2}}\implies 2\sqrt{1+tan(x)}+C$
