What is the solution of two thirds x=12

1 answer:

8 0

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to simplify.

2/3x = 12

To isolate x, we should multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3 to make x equal to a value:

Reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2

x = 12 * 3/2
x = 18

Hope this helps!

Which ordered pair in the form (x,y) is a solution of this equation? 7x-5=1

leva [86]

ANSWER

B. (-2,-3)

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

$7x - 5y = 1$

We want determine which of the ordered pairs is a solution to the given equation.

For point A(-3,-2)

$7( - 3) - 5( - 2) = 1$

$- 21 + 7 = 1$

This statement is false.

For option B(-2,-3)

We have

$7( - 2) - 5( - 3) = 1$

$- 14 + 15 = 1$

For option C(0,4)

We have

$7(0) - 5(4)=1$

$0 - 20=1$

For option D(4,0)

We have

$7(4) - 5(0)=1$

$28 - 0=1$

This statement is false.

Simply (cotθ-cscθ)^2

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

[(cosθ-1)^2]/(sinθ)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(cotθ-cscθ)^2

(cotθ)^2-2cscθcotθ+(cscθ)^2

(cosθ/sinθ)^2-2(cosθ/(sinθ)^2) +1/(sinθ)^2

All have same denominator, (sinθ)2, add/subtract

((cosθ)^2-2cosθ+1)/(sinθ)^2

Factor the top

[(cosθ-1)^2]/(sinθ)^2

Writing numbers in Expanded Form

Savatey [412]

Break the number apart into hundreds, tens, ones, etc. and add the quantities together. Here is an example:

To write 256 in expanded form, break it apart. There is 200, 50, and 6 in 250. Now, add them together. 200 + 50 + 6 = 256
