How do I complete this formal check?

Mathematics
1 answer:
natima [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions.  Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms:  -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation.  This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

        -3       =        -3

... which is obviously true.

Sue had 5 identical bags of candy to share with the crew. Twenty-five pieces of candy disappeared. Ted had 4 bags with the same
inna [77]

Answer:

Each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bags are identical, Let them Number of candies in each bag sue had be x. Thus, she had 5x candies. Since she lost 25 pieces, then she now has;

5x - 25 candies left.

We are told that Ted had 4 bags with the same number of candies like Sue had. Thus, he has 4x candies.

He mysteriously found 10 additional pieces. Total Ted now has is;. 4x + 10

Finally, we are told that Sue and Ted now have an equal number of candies.

Thus;

5x - 25 = 4x + 10

Rearranging, we have;

5x - 4x = 25 + 10

x = 35

Thus, each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

using pythagorean inequalities, determine which set of the given three sides produces an acute triangle.
Kruka [31]
To solve this problem, you need to use the Phythagorean theorem c^2 is equal to the sum of a^2 and b^2. If a less than or equal to b and b is less than or equal to c or a^2 plus  b^2  is greater than c^2 then it is an acute angle.

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

RS = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS

Hence:

RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + 3x + 2 = 13

2x + 3x - 4 + 2 = 13

5x - 2 = 13

5x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the value of RS

RS = 2x-4

RS = 2 × 3 - 4

RS = 6 - 4

RS = 2

What is the exact value of sinF?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sine of F, we have to find the length of the hypotenuse which is 2√13 from the Pythagorean Theorem. Then, sinF = opposite side / hypotenuse = 4 / 2√13 = 4√13 / 26 = 2√13 / 13. Hope this helps!
