Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

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

First, we should simplify on the left side.

6x + 6 = 3x - 15 ; Now we subtract six from both sides.

-6 -6

6x = 3x - 21 ; next we just subtract 3x from both sides.

-3x -3x

3x = -21

Finally, we divide 3 from both sides to separate the three from the x.

x = -7

Hope this helps!! <3 :)

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with:

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

Begin by distributing '3' with the terms inside of the parenthesis:

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

Simplify:

6x + 6 = 3x - 15

Isolate the variable by subtracting '3x' from both sides:

6x - 3x + 6 = 3x - 3x - 15

3x + 6 = -15

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3x + 6 - 6 = -15 - 6

3x = -21

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = -21/3

x = -7.

In order to qualify for finals in racing event,a race car must achieve an average speed of 250km/hr on a track with a total leng

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The minimum average speed needed in the second half is 270 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation

We can divide the track in two parts. For the first half of the track the average speed the car achieved was 230 km/hr and we need to make sure that the average speed of the full track is 250 km/hr. Then, we can calculate the average speed of the two parts of the track and force this to be equal to 250 km/hr. In equation, defining $v_2$ as the average speed of the second half:

$\frac{230 + v_2}{2}=250$

Solving for $x$

$x=250*2-230\\x=500-230\\x=270$

Therefore, achieving a speed of 270 km/hr in the second half would be enough to achieve an average speed of 250 on the track.

How many solutions does the equation sin(4x)= 3/4?

MAVERICK [17]

$sin(4x)= \dfrac{3}{4}$

$4x=sin^-^1( \dfrac{3}{4}), \pi -sin^-^1( \dfrac{3}{4})$

<span>Since sin is a periodic function, add the periodicity.
</span>
$4x=2\pi n+sin^-^1 ( \dfrac{3}{4} ) ,nEZ 

$

$4x=2\pi n-sin^-^1 ( \dfrac{3}{4} ) ,nEZ$

$x= \dfrac{2\pi n+sin^-^1 ( \dfrac{3}{4} ) }{4}, nEZ$

$x= \dfrac{2\pi n+ \pi -sin^-^1 ( \dfrac{3}{4} ) }{4}, nEZ$

Yasmine estimated the difference of 87.71 and 5.8 by rounding each number to the nearest whole. What was Yasmine's estimate, and

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Yasmine estimated the difference to be 82. The actual difference is 81.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rounded whole number of 87.71 is 88 and the rounded whole number of 5.8 is 6.

So, the difference between the numbers 87.71 and 5.8 by rounding each number to the nearest whole numbers will be

(88 - 6) = 82.

The actual difference between the numbers 87.71 and 5.8 is (87.71 - 5.8) = 81.91.

Therefore, Yasmine estimated the difference to be 82. The actual difference is 81.91. (Answer)

Hi! I've tried this problem a couple times but am still stumped :( Can you help?!

aniked [119]

ANSWER:

$X\text{ = }\begin{bmatrix}{12} & {-4} & {-2} \\ {-8} & {-13} & {8} \\ {8} & {15} & {18}\end{bmatrix}$

EXPLANATION:

Given:

$U\text{ = }\begin{bmatrix}{1} & {3} & {-5} \\ {2} & {14} & {11} \\ {-8} & {0} & {5}\end{bmatrix}\text{ V =}\begin{bmatrix}{13} & {1} & {-7} \\ {-6} & {1} & {9} \\ {0} & {15} & {23}\end{bmatrix}$

Since U and V are Matrices with equal dimensions(3 x 3 matrix), and

X + U = V.

To solve for X, we have:

X = V - U

$\begin{gathered} X\text{ = V - U} \\ X\text{ = }\begin{bmatrix}{13-1} & {-1-3} & {-7-(-5)} \\ {-6-2} & {1-14} & {19-11} \\ {0-(-8)} & {15-0} & {23-5}\end{bmatrix}=\text{ }\begin{bmatrix}{12} & {-4} & {-2} \\ {-8} & {-13} & {8} \\ {8} & {15} & {18}\end{bmatrix} \end{gathered}$ $X\text{ = }\begin{bmatrix}{12} & {-4} & {-2} \\ {-8} & {-13} & {8} \\ {8} & {15} & {18}\end{bmatrix}$
