Answer:
x = X + 33 (I am guessing "x" and "X" are not the same. "x" is a variable and "X" is a constant.)
Step-by-step explanation:
31 - X + (2x+1) = x - 1
or, 2x+1 = x - 1 - 31 + X
or, 2x - x = -1 -31 + X -1
or, x = -2 -31 + X
or, x = X - 33
Answer:
x = 23°
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: Complementary angles measure 90°
3x + (x - 2)° = 90°
=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°
=> 4x - 2° = 90°
Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation
i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°
=> 4x = 92°
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4
=> 4x/4 = 92°/4
x = 23°
There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.
Right now, we have the fraction (4 miles) / (2 hours).
We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of (miles/minute) or maybe (feet/minute).
Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.
Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction. But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.
(4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ... 1 hour is the same thing as 60 minutes.
Multiply the fractions: (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)
Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have
(4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)
= (4 miles) / (120 minutes)
= (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .
Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer.
(4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom.
Multiply all three fractions:
(4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)
You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:
(4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)
= (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60) feet / minutes
= (21,120 / 120) feet/minute = 176 feet per minute
Answer:
Josh is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
5^-x / 5^x = 5^(-x-x) = 5^-2x
= 1 / 5^2x
(you subtract the exponents when dividing )
So Josh is wrong ( he would be correct if we were multiplying)
