– 72 = 3(- 4x – 8) Need help

Mathematics
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-72 = 3(-4x - 8)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute 3:</u> -72 = -12x - 24

<u>Add 24 to both sides:</u> -48 = -12x

<u>Divide both sides by -12:</u> x = 4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.</em>

-72 = 3(-4(4) - 8)

-72 = 3(-16 - 8)

-72 = 3(-24)

-72 = -72

Which description of the vector shown is correct ?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

(B) The magnitude is 7sqrt2, and the direction angle is approximately 135 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, the coordinate of the tail of the vector,

(x_1,y_1)=(3,-6).

The coordinate of the head of the vector,

(x_2,y_2)=(-4,1).

The magnitude of a vector is the length between the head and tail of the vector.

By using the distance formula,

the magnitude of the vector = \sqrt{(1-(-6))^2+(-4-3)^2}

=\sqrt{(7^2+(-7)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{98}\\\\=7\sqrt{2}

Now, let \theta be the angle made by the vector with the positive direction of the x-axis, so

\tan\theta = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan\theta = \frac{1-(-6)}{-4-3}=\frac{7}{-7}=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}(-1) \\\\\Rightarrow \theta =\pi- \tan^{-1}1 \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \pi-\frac{\pi}{4} \\\\\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{3\pi}{4} \\\\\Rightarrow \theta = 135 ^{\circ}.

So, the magnitude of the vector is 7\sqrt 2 which makes 135 ^{\circ} with the positive direction of the x-axis.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

(x+1)^2+(y+1)^2=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle: (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2

center: (-1, -1)

radius: sqrt(6^2+4^2)/2=sqrt(52)/2=2sqrt(13)/2=sqrt(13)

Substitute those values in to get

(x+1)^2+(y+1)^2=13

Jordan Pat 6 4/5 yards of pink ribbon and 3 1/4 yards of purple ribbon how much more pink ribbon the purple ribbon did she buy?
evablogger [386]
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
