PLS help solve for x: -6(2x-5) = 18

Hey!


-6(2x-5) = 18


Switch it around and it becomes:


2x - 5 = 18 \div -6


First find 18 ÷ -6


18 \div -6 = -3

Positive ÷ negative OR negative ÷ positive is always negative.


That leaves you with:


2x - 5 = -3


Switch that around and it becomes:


-3 + 5 = 2x


Find -3 + 5


-3 + 5 = 2


That leaves you with:


2 = 2x


Divide both sides by 2 to leave <em>x</em> alone


\frac{2}{2} =  \frac{2x}{2}


\framebox{x = 1}

A new building in the shape of a square pyramid is to be constructed. The slant height will be five times the side length of the
Temka [501]

The area of the square pyramid building is the amount of space on it

The maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

<h3>How to determine the maximum side length?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b^2

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b^2

So, we have:

T = 10b^2 + b^2

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b^2

The maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b^2 = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b^2 = 50000/11

Take the square root of both sides

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

The cosine of 23° is equivalent to the sine of what angle
Archy [21]

Answer:

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).

(There are more values since we can go around the circle from 67 degrees numerous times.)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a co-function identity.

The co-function of sine is cosine just like the co-function of cosine is sine.

Notice that cosine is co-(sine).

Anyways co-functions have this identity:

\cos(90^\circ-x)=\sin(x)

or

\sin(90^\circ-x)=\cos(x)

You can prove those drawing a right triangle.

I drew a triangle in my picture just so I can have something to reference proving both of the identities I just wrote:

The sum of the angles is 180.

So 90+x+(missing angle)=180.

Let's solve for the missing angle.

Subtract 90 on both sides:

x+(missing angle)=90

Subtract x on both sides:

(missing angle)=90-x.

So the missing angle has measurement (90-x).

So cos(90-x)=a/c

and sin(x)=a/c.

Since cos(90-x) and sin(x) have the same value of a/c, then one can conclude that cos(90-x)=sin(x).

We can do this also for cos(x) and sin(90-x).

cos(x)=b/c

sin(90-x)=b/c

This means sin(90-x)=cos(x).

So back to the problem:

cos(23)=sin(90-23)

cos(23)=sin(67)

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).
