Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(8x−1)=5(1−3x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(8x−1)=5(1−3x)

(−2)(8x)+(−2)(−1)=(5)(1)+(5)(−3x)(Distribute)

−16x+2=5+−15x

−16x+2=−15x+5

Step 2: Add 15x to both sides.

−16x+2+15x=−15x+5+15x

−x+2=5

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−x+2−2=5−2

−x=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

x=−3

Fill in the blank with a constant, so that the resulting expression can be factored as the product of two linear expressions: 2a

Answer:

$2ab - 6a + 5b - 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2ab - 6a + 5b + \_$

Required

Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

$2ab - 6a + 5b + \_$

Split to 2

$(2ab - 6a) + (5b + \_)$

Factorize the first bracket

$2a(b - 3) + (5b + \_)$

Represent the _ with X

$2a(b - 3) + (5b + X)$

Factorize the second bracket

$2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})$

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

$b - 3 = b + \frac{X}{5}$

Subtract b from both sides

$b - b- 3 = b - b+ \frac{X}{5}$

$- 3 = \frac{X}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5

$- 3 * 5 = \frac{X}{5} * 5$

$X = -15$

Substitute -15 for X in $2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})$

$2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{-15}{5})$

$2a(b - 3) + 5(b - \frac{15}{5})$

$2a(b - 3) + 5(b - 3)$

$(2a + 5)(b - 3)$

The two linear expressions are $(2a+ 5)$ and $(b - 3)$

Their product will result in $2ab - 6a + 5b - 15$

<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>

Answer:

$\frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle and the right triangle hypotenuse.

$cos$ B = $\frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}$ = $\frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}$
