x= -3/8

here's how you solve it!

first distribute the -2/3 into the parentheses and you'll get:

4-8/3x+6=11

Then add 4 and 6 together

10-8/3x=11

Then multiply the equation by 3

30-8x=33

Then move the constant to the other side and change the sign

-8x=33-30

Subtract 30 from 33

-8x=3

Then divide both sides by -8

x=-3/8

Then you are left with your answer:

x= -3/8

Hope this helps! :3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4 − 2/3 (4x − 9) = 11

4 + −8/3 x + 6 = 11

Distribute

(−8/3 x) + (4 + 6) = 11

Combine Like Terms

−8/3x+10=11

Subtract 10 from both sides.

−8/3x + 10 − 10 = 11 − 10

−8/3

x = 1

Multiply both sides by 3/(-8).

(3/−8)*(−8/3 x) = (3/−8)*(1)

x = −3/8

Answer:

x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angles of a polygon add to 360.

x+x+x+x+x+x+30 = 360

Combine like terms

6x+30 = 360

Subtract 30 from each side

6x+30-30 = 360-30

6x = 330

Divide by 6

6x/6 =330/6

x =55

QUESTION 1

Kitty [74]

It's difficult to make out what the force and displacement vectors are supposed to be, so I'll generalize.

Let θ be the angle between the force vector F and the displacement vector r. The work W done by F in the direction of r is

W = F • r cos(θ)

The cosine of the angle between the vectors can be obtained from the dot product identity,

a • b = ||a|| ||b|| cos(θ) ==> cos(θ) = (a • b) / (||a|| ||b||)

so that

W = (F • r)² / (||F|| ||r||)

For instance, if F = 3i + j + k and r = 7i - 7j - k (which is my closest guess to the given vectors' components), then the work done by F along r is

W = ((3i + j + k) • (7i - 7j - k))² / (√(3² + 1² + 1²) √(7² + (-7)² + (-1)²))

==> W ≈ 5.12 J

(assuming F and r are measured in Newtons (N) and meters (m), respectively).

6x+4y=42 -3x+3y=-6 by elimination

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system, we need to find x and y. First, let's find x. In the first equation (6x+4y=42), subtract 4y on both sides to isolate 6x. This will result in 6x=42-4y. Divide by 6 on both sides to isolate x and get x=7- $\frac{2}{3}$ y. Now we know what x equals. Go to the second equation ad plug this into it. So instead of -3x+3y=-6, you'll have -3(7- $\frac{2}{3}$ y)+3y=-6. Use the distributive property to get -21+2y+3y=-6. Add 2y and 3y to get -21+5y=-6. Add 21 to both sides to isolate 5y and get 5y=15. Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate y and get y=3. Now that we know that y=3, we can plug this back into the equation that was bolded above so that we can find x, so we'll have x=7- $\frac{2}{3}$ (3) since y=3, and we'll get x=7- $\frac{6}{3}$ , or x=7-2, or x=5.
