$20 - 5x = 20 - 5x \\ 0$
I think this help, i'm not sure

First you would want to distribute the 5 into the parentheses
20-5x=20-5x

Then you will see that this statement is true
The statement is true since both sides are identical

Hope this helps! :3

Can someone help me please

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Remember that the sum of complementary angles is always 90°.

First, finding the value of x :

Set up an equation :

( Being complementary angles )

Solve for x

{ Remove unnecessary parentheses }

{ Combine like terms }

{ Subtract 3 from 30 }

{ Move 27 to right hand side and change it's sign }

{ Subtract 27 from 90}

{ Divide both sides by 9 }

The value of X is 7°

Now, Replacing the value of x in order to find the value of B

{ Plug the value of x }

{ Multiply 7 by 7 }

{ Subtract 3 from 49 }

The measure of B is 46°

A long paper strip with a width of 5 cm is folded, as shown in the picture. Find the smallest possible area of the gray triangle

Stolb23 [73]

By using some logic and the formula of the triangle's area, we will find that the smallest possible area is 12.5 cm²

How to start thinking about the problem.

First of all, for the configuration of this paper strip, we can see that the base of the triangle will always be equal of the width of the paper. Thus, the smallest area will be only dependent of the height of the triangle.

Now, we need to analyze the picture to figure out how we can get the smallest height possible for that triangle.

What is the smallest height possible.

Doing this, we shall see that the smallest height possible is actually when the height equals the width itself, as it's shown in the attached image.

How to calculate the smallest area possible.

Thus, to calculate the smallest area, we just have to use the formula of the area of the triangle, which is $\frac{b\times h}{2}$ , where b is the base and h is the height.

As we previously found, for this question, the

base = height = width of the paper = 5cm

Now, we just have to calculate it with the formula

$Area = \frac{base \times height}{2} \\\\
\\
Area = \frac{5 \times 5}{2} \\
\\
Area = \frac{25}{2}\\
 \\
Area = 12.5 cm^{2}$

What is the answer to 3-3x6+2

AlladinOne [14]

The answer must be -52 because I added parenthesis around -3 × 6 so it won't confuse people. I multiplied -3 and 6 and got -18. Then I multiplied -18 and 3 and got -54. I add -54 and 2 and got -52. Since there's more of negative than positive, I subtracted and got -52. Hope this helps :)
