Answer:

x>4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Subtract by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>5-2x-5<8x-3-5</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-2x<8x-8</em>

<em>Subtract by 8x from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>-2x-8x<8x-8-8x</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-10x<-8</em>

<em>Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>(-10x)(-1)>(-8)(-1)</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>10x>8</em>

<em>Divide by 10 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>10x/10>8/10</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>8/10=4/5</em>

<em>x>4/5 is the correct answer.</em>

<em>I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day! </em>

Answer:

Isolating the x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is to isolate the variable, x.

To do so, subtract 8x and 5 from both sides.

Step #1)

5 - 2x < 8x - 3

5 (-5) - 2x (-8x) < 8x (-8x) - 3 (-5)

-2x - 8x < -3 - 5

-10x < -8

Select the correct answer from each drop down menu. In the figure, AB=__inches and AC=___
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: In the figure AB is about 8.4 inches and AC is about 13.05 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: We can use cosine to find the hypotenuse. cos(40)=\frac{10}{x} \\cos(40) (x)=\frac{10}{x}(x)\\cos(40) (x) =10\\\frac{cos(40) (x)}{cos (40)} =\frac{10}{cos (40)} \\x=\frac{10}{cos(40)}

Using a calculator x is about 13.05

Using tangent we can find the length opposite of <C

tan(40)=\frac{x}{10} \\tan(40) (10)=\frac{x}{10}(10)\\tan(40) (10) = x

Using a calculator x would be about 8.4

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.
