Subtract 6 from both sides and you get 6=3(2x−10)

Divide both sides by 3 and you get 6/3=2x−10 and 6/3=2 so 2=2x−10

then add 10 to both sides 2+10=2x and you get 12=2x divide by 2

x=6 then check your answer and you get 12=12

Hello.

1. switch sides

3(2x-10)+6=12

2.subtract 6 from both sides

3(2x-10)+6-6=12-6

3. simplfy

3(2x-10)=6

4. divide both sides by 3

3(2x-10)/3=6/3

5. simpfly

2x-10=2

6. add 10 to both sides

2x-10+10=2+10

7 simpfly

2x=12

Answer=6

The hanger image below represent a balanced equation...Find the value of c that makes the equation true.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: $c = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

For balancing a hanger,

The weight of both sides of the hanger must be equal,

Here, the left side weight = 24 unit,

While the right sides total weight = c + c + c + c + c + c

= 6 c

For balancing it,

$6 c = 24$

⇒ $c = 4$

Thus, in the balancing equation the value of c will be 4.

Find the distance of the point (4,4,−4) from the line r(t)=⟨−1+2t,1+2t,3−3t⟩.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Translate the given point and line together so that you get a new point and a new line that passes through the origin. This turns the problem into finding the distance between the new point,

p = (4, 4, -4) - (-1, 1, 3) = (5, 3, -7)

and the new line,

r*(t) = r(t) - ⟨-1, 1, 3⟩ = ⟨2t, 2t, -3t⟩

Let p = ⟨5, 3, -7⟩, the vector starting at the origin and pointing to p. Then the quantity ||p - r*(t)|| is the distance from the point p to the line r*(t).

Let u be such that ||p - r*(t)|| is minimized. At the value t = u, the vector p - r*(t) is orthogonal to the line r*(t), so that

(p - r*(u) ) • r*(u) = 0

I've attached a sketch with all these elements in case this description is confusing. (The red dashed line is meant to be perpendicular to r*(t).)

Solve this equation for u :

p • r*(u) - r*(u) • r*(u) = 0

p • r*(u) = r*(u) • r*(u)

and x • x = ||x||² for any vector x, so

p • r*(u) = ||r*(u)||²

⟨5, 3, -7⟩ • ⟨2u, 2u, -3u⟩ = (2u)² + (2u)² + (-3u)²

10u + 6u + 21u = 4u ² + 4u ² + 9u ²

17u ² - 37u = 0

u (17u - 37) = 0

==> u = 0 or u = 37/17

We ignore u = 0, since the dot product of any vector with the zero vector is 0.

Then the minimum distance distance between the given point and line is

||p - r*(u)|| = ||⟨5, 3, -7⟩ - 37/17 ⟨2, 2, -3⟩|| = √(42/17)
