Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x - 1 = 4 x + 5

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(2 x - 4 x) - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

2 x - 4 x = -2 x:

-2 x - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

4 x - 4 x = 0:

-2 x - 1 = 5

Add 1 to both sides:

(1 - 1) - 2 x = 1 + 5

1 - 1 = 0:

-2 x = 5 + 1

5 + 1 = 6:

-2 x = 6

Divide both sides of -2 x = 6 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 6/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 6/(-2)

The gcd of 6 and -2 is 2, so 6/(-2) = (2×3)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×3/(-1) = 3/(-1):

x = 3/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 3/(-1) by -1:

Answer: x = -3

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

12√3

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 30 =1/2

sin30=a/24. sin=opposit side/Hypotenuse

a is the opposite side of 30

1/2=a/24

a=12

now take pythagoras theroem

24^2=z^2+12^2

576=z^2+144

z^2=576-144

z^2=432

z=√432

z=√144*3

z=12√3
