<span>Direct proof. A direct proof is a way of establishing the truth or falsehood of a given mathematical statement by a combination of established facts, usually axioms, lemmas and theorems. It assumes the hypothesis of a conjecture is true and then uses a series of logical deductions to prove that the conclusion as well.</span>

Five less than nine times a number is the same as nineteen more than the number
Xelga [282]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you need to do is develop the equation. Less in this case means subtract.

On the left side you have

9 times a number which is 9*x

5 less than 9 times a number means 9x - 5

Now you shift to the right

x = 3

x + 19  What you get is

9x - 5 = x + 19        Subtract x from both sides of the equation

9x - x - 5 = 19        Combine both x terms on the left

8x - 5 = 19             Add 5 to both sides.

8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5 Combine terms

8x = 24                  Divide by 8

x = 24/8

x = 3

Help geometry bisecting angles
dusya [7]

Since the angles are bisecting < RSU = < UST

substitution----- 4x+16=9x-9

subtract 4x from both sides----- 16=5x-9

add 9 to both sides-----25=5x

divide by 5 on both sides------ 5=x

The value of x is 5

substitute the value of x in both expressions

1st expression: 4x+16

substitute the value of x------ 4(5)+16= 20+16=36

2nd expression: 9x-9

substitute the value of x-----9(5)-9=45-9=36

< RST= <RSU+<UST

<RSU=36 degrees

<UST= 36 degrees

------------------------------------you have calculated both above-------------------------------------------

m<RST= 36 + 36=72 degrees

Find the potential solution to the equation<br> log (2-x) = log (-5x - 18).<br><br> x=
Lilit [14]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the concept of logarithms.

Since here the log is on both sides, we take antilog on both sides, so we get as,

==> 2-x = -5x - 18

==> -x + 5x = -18 -2

==> 4x = -20

==> x = -20/4

==> x = -5

hence, x = -5
