Solve for x

2(x - 2) = 6

First distribute 2 to both x and -2

2(x) = 2x
2(-2) = -4

2x - 4 = 6

Next, isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Add 4 to both sides

2x - 4 (+4) = 6 (+4)

2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

Finally, to isolate the x, divide 2 from both sides

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x

hope this helps

Hi!

First, let's use the distribution property.

To do that, multiply the values in the parentheses by the number outside of the parentheses.
2 · x = 2x
2 · -2 = -4
2x - 4 = 6

Remember that whatever we do to the equation we have to do it to both sides.

We need to isolate x on one side. So first let's add 4 to both sides.
2x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4
2x = 10
Divide by 2 on both sides.
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5

The answer is x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

Harrizon [31]

Jason runs the same distance each day. In one 7-day period he ran 40 1/4 miles. He knows that there is a proportional relationship between n, the number of days, and t, the total distance he runs. Tell whether each statement is True or False.
A. The relationship can be expressed as n=5.25t. True or False
B. The graph of the equation is a straight line through (0,0). True or False
C. The unit rate is 5.75. True or False

The answer is A

Use the diagram of the right triangle above and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Svetlanka [38]

Option a: $17.32 \ {m}$ is the length of b

Explanation:

The angle of B is $\angle B=60^{\circ}$ and $a=10 \ m$

We need to determine the length of b.

First, let us determine the angle of A.

Since, ABC is a triangle, then all the angles add up to 180°

Thus, we have,

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$

$\angle A+60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

$\angle A+150^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

$\angle A=30^{\circ}$

Thus, the angle of A is $\angle A=30^{\circ}$

Now, we shall determine the length of b using the sine law formula.

The formula for sine law is given by,

$\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}$

where $a=10 \ m$ , $\angle A=30^{\circ}$ , $\angle B=60^{\circ}$

Thus, we have,

$\frac{10}{\sin 30}=\frac{b}{\sin 60}$

Simplifying, we get,

$\frac{10}{0.5}=\frac{b}{0.866}$

Multiplying both sides by 0.866, we get,

$\frac{10\times0.866}{0.5}=b$

Multiplying the numerator, we have,

$\frac{8.66}{0.5}=b$

Dividing, we get,

$17.32=b$

Thus, the length of b is $b=17.32 \ m$

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.

What is the total surface area of a cylindrical tank having

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Could be C) or D) None of these, 29688.05cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Did the question to round off to any numbers?

Formula for cylinder's T.S.A: 2 π r h + 2 π r^2

Diameter= 2 x radius

Radius = 70cm / 2 = 35cm

Height -> need to convert m to cm -> 100cm

Substitute these values into the formula:

2 x π x 35 x 100 + 2 x π x (35)^2 = 29688.05cm^2
