Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ax= 27........I would normally solve this by division....but it says multiply....so multiply both sides by 1/a

example :

3x = 27.....multiply both sides by 1/3

1/3(3/1)x = 27 * 1/3

x = 27/3 which reduces to 9

u have to multiply by the reciprocal of a to get rid of a

If you stand on a ship in a calm sea, then your height x (in feet) above sea level is related to the farthest distance y (in mil
lys-0071 [83]
We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).

We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles

So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0 
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)

Solve the equation in two different ways. Choose one method of solving in detail 5x+7(x+1) = 5x - 21
frozen [14]

Answer:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

What is the sum of all measures of the interior angles of a regular pentagon?
Ugo [173]
There are 540 degrees total in the interior angles of a regular pentagon.

Just so you know, the total degrees of interior angles goes up by 180 degrees.

A triangle is 180 degrees, a quadrilateral 360, and a pentagon 540.
