Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25
Distribute the 3 into the (x - 5).
-8x + 3x - 15 = 25
Combine like terms.
-5x - 15 = 25
Add 15 to both sides.
-5x = 40
Divide both sides by -5.
x = -8.
Proof:
-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25
Substitute variable.
-8(-8) + 3((-8) - 5) = 25
Subtract inside parenthesis.
-8(-8) + 3(-13) = 25
Multiply -8 and -8.
64 + 3(-13) = 25
Multiply 3 and -13.
64 + (-39) = 25
Add 64 and -39.
25 = 25
12 pigs×4 legs=48 legs
18 chickens×2 legs=36 legs
48 legs+36 legs=84 legs
12 are pigs and 18 are chickens
Substitute
4x+2=x-4
Then solve
3x=-6
x=-2
Substitute answer into an equation to find y
y=-2-4
y=-6
So you solution is:
(-2,-6)
A=a+b+c+d/4
subtract a from both sides
0=b+c+d/4
Subtract b from both sides
-b=c+d/4
Finally subtract d/4 from both sides
c=-d/4-b
Answer:
The three unknown angles X, Y , and Z are:
X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's name X the measure of the first angle, Y the measure of the second one, and Z that of the third one.
Then we can create the following equations:
X = 2 Y
Z = 100 + Y
and
X + Y + Z = 180
So we use the first equation and the second one to substitute for the variable X and Z in the thrid equation:
2 Y + Y + (100 + Y) = 180
4 Y + 100 = 180
4 Y = 80
Y = 80/4 = 20
Then X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120
