Sample Response: The goal is to get x all alone. First combine like terms. Apply the addition property of equality to add 4 to both sides. Apply the division property of equality to divide both sides by 3. The result will be x = 4. Finally, check the solution by substituting 4 into the original equation.

We are given the function <span>–2x – 4 + 5x = 8  and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.</span>

Brian spends 1/3 on his wages on rent and 1/4 on food. If he makes £576 per week, how much money does he have left
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on rent =1/3 of $576= 1/3×576= $192

Money spent on food = 1/4 of 576 = 1/4×576 =$144

Money left = 576-(192+144)=

hypotenuse = 8.4 (radius) + 5.6 = 14  

using the Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 14² - 8.4² = 196 - 70.56 =125.44

x = √125.44 = 11.2

If cos x=1/2 and 90°
Talja [164]

When I factor[ 2cos (square) - 5cos -3], I get (2cos + 1)(cos - 3). 2cos + 1 = 0, 2cos = -1, cos = -0.5,. Using inv cos on calculator, I get 120 degree related angle.

Please help me with number 7
Wittaler [7]

"twelve decreased by twice a number"   --->   12 - 2x

"8 times the sum of number and 4"   --->   8(x + 4)

12 - 2x  =  8(x + 4)

12 - 2x  =  8x + 32                    (distributive property)

12        =  10x + 32                   (add 2x to both sides)

-20       =  10x                           (subtract 32 from both sides)

x  =  -2                                      (divide both sides by 10)

That's answer.
