1/5(2x - 10) + 4x = -3(1/5x + 4)
0.4x - 2 + 4x = -0.6x - 12
4.4x - 2 = -0.6x - 12
5x - 2 = -12
5x = -10
x = -2

$\dfrac{1}{5} (2x - 10) + 4x = -3 ( \dfrac{1}{5}x + 4)$

Apply distributive property to distribute 1/3 and -3:

$\dfrac{2}{5} x - 2 + 4x = - \dfrac{3}{5}x - 12$

Sort all the x to the left and the constants to the right:

$\dfrac{2}{5} x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 4x = - 12 + 2$

Simplify:

$5x = -10$

Divide by 5:

$x = -2$

$\boxed { \boxed {\text {Answer: x = -2}}}$

It would mean a lot.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

First, subtract y2 - y1 to find the vertical distance. Then, subtract x2 - x1 to find the horizontal distance.

Formula to find distance given two points.

Square root (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2

Xa Ya Xb Yb
A = (3, -4) B = (-1, 3)

Xa goes into X2 and Xb goes into X1

(3 - (-1))^2

Ya goes into Y2 and Yb goes into Y1

(-4 - 3)^2

Square root (3 - (-1))^2 + (-4 - 3)^2

Square root (4)^2 + (-7)^2

Square root 16 + 49

Square root 65

= 8.06

The error was Drako had (3 - 4)^2 when it should have been (3 - (-4))^2 because a positive is subtracting a negative.

The speed of light is approximately 299,000,000 meters per second.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of $a \times 10^n$ , where $1\leq a < 10$ and $n$ is any positive or negative whole number.

To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is one digit before the decimal point.

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 ( $n$ ).

If the decimal point has moved to the left, the power is positive.

If the decimal point has moved to the right, the power is negative.

To convert the given number to scientific notation

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒ 299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

If cos(x) = 0.5, then what is x?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

=60 the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometric ratio, we can find the value of the angle by simply finding the inverse of the given ratio.

If for example Cos ∅= a, then ∅=Cos⁻¹a

If Cos (x)= 0.5, then x= Cos⁻¹ 0.5

Cos⁻1 0.5=60°

The angle whose sine is 0.5 is ∅=60°
