Hi!

<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>

5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9

<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>

<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>

5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5

<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>

<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>

5x/5 = 4/5

x = 0.8

Hope this helps! :)

Find all solutions ​
Anton [14]

Answer:

The solutions of the equation are 0 , π

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some trigonometric identities

- sin² Ф + cos² Ф = 1

- tan² Ф + 1 = sec² Ф

* Lets solve the equation

∵ tan² x sec² x + 2 sec² x - tan² x = 2

- Replace sec² x by tan² x + 1 in the equation

∴ tan² x (tan² x + 1) + 2(tan² x + 1) - tan² x = 2

∴ tan^4 x + tan² x + 2 tan² x + 2 - tan² x = 2 ⇒ add the like terms

∴ tan^4 x + 2 tan² x + 2 = 2 ⇒ subtract 2 from both sides

∴ tan^4 x + 2 tan² x = 0

- Factorize the binomial by taking tan² x as a common factor

∴ tan² x (tan² x + 2) = 0

∴ tan² x = 0

<em>OR</em>

∴ tan² x + 2 = 0

∵ 0 ≤ x < 2π

∵ tan² x = 0 ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ tan x = 0

∵ tan 0 = 0 , tan π = 0

∴ x = 0

∴ x = π

<em>OR</em>

∵ tan² x + 2 = 0 ⇒ subtract 2 from both sides

∴ tan² x = -2 ⇒ no square root for negative value

∴ tan² x = -2 is refused

∴ The solutions of the equation are 0 , π

1. Solve the system of equations by substitution and check your solution.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

x = 7 and y = −2

(7, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 - 3y

3x + 3y = 15

Substitute −3y + 1 for x in 3x + 3y = 15:

3(1 - 3y) + 3y = 15

3 - 9y + 3y = 15

3 - 6y = 15

-3           -3

-6y = 12

/-6     /-6

y = -2

Now we solve for x. Substitute −2 for y in x = −3y + 1:

x = 1 - 3y

x = 1 + (-3)(-2)

x = 1 + 6

x = 7

Now we check our solution.

x = 1 - 3y

7 = 1 + (-3)(-2)

7 = 7 ✅

3x + 3y = 15

3(7) + 3(-2) = 15

21 - 6 = 15

15 = 15 ✅
