What is x+2=-x+-2? Can you plz do it step by step!

1 answer:

6 0

To solve this equation, we are going to isolate the variable x. To do this, we are going to begin by adding x to both sides because this will cancel out the negative x on the right side of the equation.

x + 2 + x = -x + x - 2
When we combine like terms, we get:
2x + 2 = -2
Next, we will try to continue to isolate the variable by subtracting 2 from each side to get the 2x term on the left by itself.
2x + 2 -2 = -2 -2
When we combine like terms, we get:
2x = -4
Finally, to get x by itself we must divide by 2 to undo the multiplication of the coefficient of the term 2x.
2x/2 = -4/2
When we perform the division, we get:
x = -2
Therefore, x = -2.
We can check this answer by plugging it back into the original equation. Our answer is verified because 0=0.
Your answer is that x = -2.
Hope this helps!

How do I find the missing sides in this triangle?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle so you would do this formula:

Short side (opposite the 30 degree angle) = x.

Hypotenuse (opposite the 90 degree angle) = 2x.

Long side (opposite the 60 degree angle) = x√3.

Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, gives 30% to charity, and uses another 15% to pay off an old debt. He

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Chan's Bonus amount was $2400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Total amount receive from bonus be 'x'.

Given:

Chan pays 30% in taxes;

So we can say;

Amount paid in taxes will be equal to 30% of total amount receive

framing in equation form we get;

Amount paid in taxes = $\frac{30}{100}x=0.3x = 0.3x$

Now Given:

Chan pays 30% in Charity;

So we can say;

Amount paid in charity will be equal to 30% of total amount receive.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount paid in Charity = $\frac{30}{100}x=0.3x$

Also Given:

Chan pays 30% in old debts;

So we can say;

Amount paid in Old debts will be equal 30% of total amount receive

framing in equation form we get;

Amount paid in Old debts = $\frac{15}{100}x=0.15x$

Money left with him = $600

Now we can say that Total Amount Receive in bonus will be equal to Amount paid in taxes plus Amount paid in charity plus Amount paid in old debts plus amount left.

framing in equation form we get;

$x=0.3x+0.3x+0.15x+600\\\\x= 0.75x +600\\\\x-0.75x=600\\\\0.25x=600\\\\x=\frac{600}{0.25} = \$2400$

Hence Chan's Bonus amount was $2400.

The function h(x) = 12x8 + 49 is an even function. Which transformation of h(x) would result in a function that is neither even

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: translation 8 units to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function is a function such that:

h(x) = h(-x)

and the function is odd if:

h(-x) = -h(x)

Now, let's talk about transformations:

A) Reflection over the x-axis:

When we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the x-axis, the reflected point will be:

(x, -y).

Then for the case of a function:

y = h(x).

then the reflection will be:

g(x) = - y = -h(x).

And if h(x) is even, -h(x) is also even, so this is not the correct option.

B) Vertical stretch by a factor of 7.

This is written as:

g(x) = 7*h(x).

then:

g(x) = 7*h(x)

g(-x) = 7*h(-x) = 7*h(x) = g(x)

the transformation is even.

C) Translation of 8 units to the right.

We can write this as:

g(x) = h(x - 8).

Then:

g(-x) = h(-x -8) = h(x + 8)

Then g(-x) is not equal to g(x)

and also g(-x) ≠ -g(x)

So in this case the transformation is neither odd or even.

C) horizontal compression by a factor of One-half.

This transformation is written as:

g(x) = h( (1/2)*x)

And, similar as the case of the vertical compression, in this case the transformation is also even.
