Your first goal is to get all the X’s to one side of the equation.

So:

3x - 5 = 9x + 8 - 5x

+5x +5x

8x - 5 = 9x + 8

-9x -9x

-1x - 5 = 8

Now that you have all the X variables simplified and on one side, you make sure all of you constant terms are on the other side.

-1x - 5 = 8

+5 +5

-1x = 13

Because you can’t have a negative X, you divide the entire equation by -1.

<u>-1x = 13</u>

-1

x = -13

Dividing by -1 will give you the inverse of the equation which is <u>positive</u> one x equals <u>negative</u> thirteen.

Solve equation (n-1)(n+6)(n+5)=0
Vika [28.1K]
Answer:
1, -6 and -5 

Explanation:
To solve the equation means to get the values of n which satisfy the given equation.
The equation given is:
(n-1) (n+6) (n+5) = 0
This equation will be true if any of the terms (brackets) is equal to zero.
This means that:
either n-1 = 0 .............> n = 1
or n + 6 = 0 ................> n = -6
or n + 5 = 0 ................> n = -5

Hope this helps :)

A cashier has 26 bills consisting of three times as many ones as fives, one less ten than fives, and the rest twenties. If the v
monitta
Let number of  fives = x then number of ones = 3x  and number of tens = x - 1

so we can create the equation 

x + 3x +  x-1 + y = 26  where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27

also we have the equation 

5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120

18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x    + y    = 27     multiply  by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x  = 5,  that is  5 fives

Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y =  40
y =  2 ,   that is 2 twenties

So the answer is   there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5  fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties

Find the tangent of each angle that is not the right angle. Drag and drop the numbers into the boxes to show the tangent of each
omeli [17]

Answer:

tan D = \frac{6}{11} or 0.545

tan F = \frac{11}{6} or 1.833

Step-by-step explanation:

To find tangent is always \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

so the opposite of angle D is line EF which is 4.8 and the adjacent side is line ED which is 8.8   so  \frac{4.8}{8.8} which is \frac{6}{11} or 0.545

The opposite of angle f is line ED which is 8.8 and the adjacent is line EF which is 4.8 so \frac{8.8}{4.8}  is  \frac{11}{6} or 1.833
