How to do 2(x-5)-8=20

Mathematics

Answer:

<em>x = 19</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 on the left side.

2(x - 5) - 8 = 20

2x - 10 - 8 = 20

Combine like terms on the left side.

2x - 18 = 20

Add 18 to both sides.

2x = 38

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 19

Answer:

Solution for 2(x-5)-8=20 equation:

Simplifying

2(x + -5) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + x) + -8 = 20

(-5 * 2 + x * 2) + -8 = 20

(-10 + 2x) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-10 + -8 + 2x = 20

Combine like terms: -10 + -8 = -18

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 2x = 20 + 18

2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: 20 + 18 = 38

2x = 38

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 19

Simplifying

x = 19

In the figure, two poles are 25 m and 35 m high. A cable 23 m long Joins the tops of the poles. Find the distance between the po
sukhopar [10]

Answer: 20.71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m

The length of the cable is 23 m

Suppose the distance between them is x

From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

\Rightarrow 23^=x^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow 529-100=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=429\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{429}=20.71\ m

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m

How do u figure out my equation? I know I need to use tan, but how?
Marysya12 [62]
Basically, you need to calculate "x" correct?
The tangent of (52) = x / 20
1.2799 = x / 20
x = 1.2799 * 20

What is the slope in the Y intercept of the line on the graph below
Archy [21]

Answer:

just by looking at the graph you can see that the y int is one, so that eliminates two answers already. Then the slope is rise over run. (best thing to remember in math. rise over run) so pick two points. (0, 1) and (4,0) were the first ones i saw. to get from those two points you go from (0,1) over 4 (thats your run) and from there down 1 (thats your rise) to get to (0,4). You would then do rise over run (and because your rise goes down its negative) to get -1/4 as your slope. The answer is slope= -1/4, Y intercept = 1
