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.

A Frisbee has a diameter which measures 10.2 inches. Consider the greatest possible error allowed for the measurement and calcul
Anestetic [448]
In the dimension of the frisbee given to be 10.2 inches in diameter, there are three significant figures. All, from 1, 0 and 2. Since these values are all significant, the last digit determines the greatest possible error allowed that is only in the tenths digit. The circumference of the frisbee is calculated through the equation,
                                            C = πD
Substituting,
                                            C = π(10.2 in) ≈ 32.0 in

What is the value of the variable in the equation, r-17=22 *
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Example

With numbers

18+4=22

18+4−4=22−4

18=18

With variables and numbers

x+4=22

x+4−4=22−4

x=18

We subtract 4 from both sides. Example

Which of the following numbers is a solution to the equation? x = 2, 7,  or 8?

14−x=7

Here you are given the numbers 2, 7 and 8. One of these numbers will satisfy the equation. If you don't know the solution right away, you can investigate which of the given numbers gives results in the correct answer by plugging in the different values of x.

Answer: x=7

Example

8x=64

8⋅x=64

Which number should you multiply 8 by to get a product of 64? By using the multiplication table, we know that the number is 8.

8⋅8=64

When we solve an equation, we figure out what value of x (or any other variable) makes the statement true (satisfies the equation).

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

x=12

y=20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>the</u><u> two</u><u> triangles</u><u> are</u><u> congruent</u><u> </u>

according to the question

x+18=6x-42

6x-x=18+42

5x=60

x=12

if two triangles are congruent the included Angeles are equal

so

y+22=3y-18

3y-y=22+18

2y=40

y=20
