Answer:

Both sides are true.

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}\\3x-2x+4=6x+2-5x+2\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:3x-2x=x\\x+4=6x+2-5x+2\\\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms\:again}\\x+4=6x-5x+2+2\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:6x-5x=x\\x+4=x+2+2\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:2+2=4\\x+4=x+4$

Hope this helps and have a great day!!!

Answer:

2/3 , 13/18, 7/9 , 5/6 (least to greatest order)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to convert all the fractions into decimal form .

2. 7/9.00 = 0.78 (rounded)

3. 13/18.00 = 0.72

4. 5/6.00 = 0.83

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at

Marizza181 [45]

I don't know the options, but I can say this:

if you bought it at 20 1/4 and you sell them at 25 1/4 then your win pro stock is the difference between those two numbers, which is 5. (25 1/4-20 1/4 =5)

and if you sell all of them, your profit will be 30*5=150 dollars.

A parallelogram has sides of 18 and 26 ft, and an angle of 39° . Find the shorter diagonal

Fed [463]

Answer:

16.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are always equal in measure. So two of the angles in the parallelogram measure 39 degrees each.

The sum of angles of the parallelogram must be 360 degrees. Let the other two angles be x degree each. We can set up the following equation for the angles:

39 + 39 + x + x = 360

78 + 2x = 360

2x = 282

x = 141

This means, the other two angles measure 141 degree each. The shorter diagonal will be opposite to the shorter angle.

Hence, the diagonal opposite to the angle 39 degree will be the shorter one. A diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles. So we will have two sides and an included angle and we have to find the third side of the triangle which can be found using the law of cosines. Let the third side be c as shown in image below, using the law of cosines, we can write:

$c^{2} = a^{2}+ b^{2} -2ab cos(\gamma)\\\\c^{2}=18^{2}+26^{2}-2(18)(26)cos(39)\\\\ c^{2}=272.59\\\\ c=16.51$

Thus the shorter diagonal will be 16.51 feet in measure.
