Can you solvefor x 3 (x+4)+5x=-20

1 answer:

3 0

Solve for x:5 x + 3 (x + 4) = -20
3 (x + 4) = 3 x + 12:3 x + 12 + 5 x = -20
Grouping like terms, 5 x + 3 x + 12 = (5 x + 3 x) + 12:(5 x + 3 x) + 12 = -20
5 x + 3 x = 8 x:8 x + 12 = -20
Subtract 12 from both sides:8 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 20
12 - 12 = 0:8 x = -20 - 12
-20 - 12 = -32:8 x = -32
Divide both sides of 8 x = -32 by 8:(8 x)/8 = (-32)/8
8/8 = 1:x = (-32)/8
The gcd of -32 and 8 is 8, so (-32)/8 = (8 (-4))/(8×1) = 8/8×-4 = -4:Answer: x = -4

(sin x)(tan x cos x - cot x cos x) = 1 - 2 cos2x

Aliun [14]

As

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$
$\cot x=\dfrac{\cos x}{\sin x}$

we have

$\sin x(\tan x\cos x-\cot x\cos x)=\sin x\left(\sin x-\dfrac{\cos^2x}{\sin x}\right)=\sin^2x-\cos^2x$

Recalling that $\cos2x=\cos^2x-\sin^2x$ , we end up with

$-\cos2x=1-2\cos2x$
$1=\cos2x$
$\implies2x=2n\pi$

(where $n$ is any integer)

$\implies x=n\pi$
