Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 = 7x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 - 7x = 7x + 50 - 7x \\ 12x - 7x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \\ 5x = 55 \\ x = 11$

and check:

$12(11) - 5 = 8(11) - (11) + 50 \\ 132 - 5 = 77 + 50 \\ 127 = 127$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle with hypotenuse of 60 yards and the height 12 being the side opposite the angle of incline, say x°, then

sinx° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{12}{60}$ , thus

x = $sin^{-1}$ ( $\frac{12}{60}$ ) ≈ 11.54°

The solution to 4p + 2 < 2p + 5)

Georgia [21]

After solving $4p + 2 < 2p + 5$ we get $p$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve

$4p + 2 < 2p + 5$

Solving

$4p + 2 < 2p + 5$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$4p + 2-2 < 2p + 5-2\\4p$

Subtract 2p from both sides

$4p$

Divide both sides by 2p

$\frac{2p}{2}$

So, after solving $4p + 2 < 2p + 5$ we get $p$
