X= a number
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction
(3/1)((2x+4)/3) + (3)(x+2)= (3)(20)
2x+4+3x+6= 60
5x+10=60
Subtract 10 from both sides
5x=50
divide both sides by 5
x=10
Check:
Substitute answer in original equation
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
(2(10)+4)/3+(10+2)= 20
(20+4)/3+12= 20
24/3+12= 20
8+12= 20
20=20
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
= −31/4
(Decimal: -7.75)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
z = 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
segment RX is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
6z = 105 ( divide both sides by 6 )
z = 17.5
Remember a^(m) x a^(n) = a(m+n) & √a = a^(1/2)
===> x^(1/2 -3/2)+x(1/2 -1/2) ====> x^(-1)+x^(0) (any number Exp 0 =1)
X^(-1) +1 ===> 1/x +1 or (1+x)/x
