Equation: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)

Step-by-step solution:

• Expand brackets

-> 4x + 7 = 6x - 15

• Move x variable to a side and the numbers to another

-> 4x - 6x = -15 - 7

• Solve

-> -2x = -22

• Multiply both sides by (-1)

-> -(-2x) = -(-22)
-> 2x = 22

• Divide both sides by 2

-> x = 22/2

-> x = 11

• Justification
-> Put x = 11 in original equation
-> 4(11) + 7 = 3( 2(11) - 5)
-> 44 + 7 = 3(22 - 5)
-> 51 = 3(17)
-> 51 = 51
-> 51 - 51 = 0
-> 0 = 0
Since both sides are equal to each other, the answer to the equation is correct.

I don't know Sam's equation so I'm not gonna answer that.

Brilliant_brown [7]
Here, Ratio of corresponding length would be equal.
Let, Altitude = x
Then, 64 / x = x / 4
x² = 256
x = √256
x = 16

In short, Your Answer would be 16 units

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP!!!
Scilla [17]
You need the Law of Cosines here and you use it when you have 2 sides and an enclosed angle.  The side across from the angle is the one we are looking for.  The correct way to express the Law using what we have is the last choice above.  Side RT is the unknown, and it is across from the angle that is enclosed between the 2 other sides.
