Given that 2(-x + 4)=3 prove that x=5/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So firstly, you want to distribute. It'll make your life much easier.

-2x + 8 = 3

-2x = -5 (subtracting 8 from both sides)

x = 5/2 (dividing both sides by -2 to obtain x)

Hope this helps :)

Need help use screenshot(SAT Prep) In △ABC, AB = BC = 20 and DE ≈ 9.28. Approximate BD. bd equals?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

5.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

<BAD = <CAE, therefore, BD = EC

Let's take x to be the length of BD = EC

BD + DE + EC = BC

BC = 20,

BD = EC = x

DE ≈ 9.28

Thus,

x + 9.28 + x = 20

x + x + 9.28 = 20

2x + 9.28 = 20

Subtract 9.28 from both sides

2x + 9.28 - 9.28 = 20 - 9.28

2x = 10.72

Divided both sides by 2 to solve for x

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10.72}{2}

x = \frac{10.72}{2}

x = 5.36

BD ≈ 5.36

Define Following:consistent equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1. Consistent equations

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

4 = 2

7. One solution

3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Consistent equations

A consistent equation is one that has a solution, that is there exist a complete set of solution of the unknown values that resolves all the equations in the system.

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

A dependent system of equations consist of the equation of a line presented in two alternate forms, leading to the existence of an infinite number of solutions.

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

These are equations with the same roots or solution

e.g. 9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

Inconsistent equations are equations that are not solvable based on the provided set of values in the equations

e.g. x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

An independent equation is an equation within a system of equation, that is not derivable based on the other equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

No solution indicates that the solution is not in existence

Example,  4 = 2

7. One solution

This is an equation that has exactly one solution

Example 3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2
