7 - 7(-8 + x) = -14 + 4x How do you solve for x?

1 answer:

5 0

7-7 (-8+x)=-14+4×
7+56-7x=-14+4x
63-7x=-14+4x
add 7x to both sides
63=-14+11x
add 14 to both sides
77=11x
divide both sides by 11
7=x

therefore 7 is x

The access code for a cars security system consist of four digits the first digit cannot be 1 and the last digit must be odd how

Katena32 [7]

So we have 10 numbers 0 - 9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The first digit cannot be 1
therefore there are 9 possibilities
0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

digits 2 and 3 can be numbers 0 through 9
therefore there are 10 possibilities for digits 2 and 3
digits 2 and 3 are a total of 2 digits
and the last digit must be odd so there are 5 possibilities -> 1 3 5 7 9
so
$9 * 10^2 * 5 => 9 * 100 * 5 => 45* 100 = 45,000$

Prove the following identity showing all steps:

kiruha [24]

Answer:

See solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{cos(x+30)-sin(x+60)}{sin(x)cos(x)} \\$

Recall that

cos x = sin(90-x)

cos(x+30 ) = sin (90-(x+30)

= sin(90-x-30)

= sin(60-x)

Substitute

$\frac{sin(60-x)-sin(x+60)}{sin(x)cos(x)} \\= \frac{sin60cosx-cos60sinx)-sinxcos60-cosxsin60)}{sin(x)cos(x)} \\= \frac{-2cos60sinx)}{sin(x)cos(x)} \\= \frac{-2(1/2)sinx)}{sin(x)cos(x)} \\= \frac{-1}{cos(x)}\\= \frac{1}{cos(x)}\\ \\= -sec(x) Proved$
