Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{2}(x - 5) = - 6

Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

3(x - 5) = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x - 5 = - 4 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = - 4 + 5 = 1

solution is x = 1

Alright to find the answer.

Simplify the left side.

3x÷2-15÷2=-6

Now move all the terms that are not containing x to the right side of the equation.

3x÷2=3÷2

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.

(3x)⋅(2)=(2)⋅(3)

Finally, solve the equation for x which is going to equal 1

So the answer is x=1

Hope this helped you.

If LN=54 and LM=31, find MN
kirza4 [7]
In this item, it is unfortunate that a figure, drawing, or illustration is not given. To be able to answer this, it is assumed that these segments are collinear. Points L, M, and N are collinear, and that L lies between MN. 

The length of the whole segment MN is the sum of the length of the subsegments, LN and LM. This can be mathematically expressed,
             LN + LM = MN

We are given with the lengths of the smalller segments and substituting the known values,
             MN = 54 + 31
            MN = 85

<em>ANSWER: MN = 85</em>

the measure of the angle is 88 degrees greater than its complement. what is the measure of the complement?
vazorg [7]
Let the angle be x and it's complement be c.

Then, x = c + 88 and x + c = 90

Substitute the first equation in the second.

(c+88) + c = 90
2c+88 = 90
2c = 2
c =1 

Compliment = 1
Angle = 89

A boat travels upstream for 48 miles in 3 hours and returns in 2 hours traveling downstream in a river. What is the rate of the
alekssr [168]

Answer:

20 mph and 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A boat travels upstream for 48 miles in 3 hours and returns in 2 hours traveling downstream in a river.

TO FIND: What is the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current.

SOLUTION:

Let the speed of boat in still water be s and speed of current be a.

\therefore speed of water in upstream =s+a

  speed of water in downstream =s-a

As  speed=\frac{distance}{time}

s+a=\frac{48}{3}=16

s-a=\frac{48}{2}=24

Solving both we get

s=20\text{ mph}

a=4\text{ mph}

Hence speed of boat in still water and rate of current is 20mph and 4mph respectively.
