-0.5p-2=p

Add 0.5 to both sides which would equal
-2=1.5p

Then divide -2 by 1.5p
P=-1.33333333

Simplify tan9x-tan5x / 1+tan9xtan5x

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The given expressions simplifies to tan (4x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is : $\frac{tan9x - tan5x}{1+ tan9xtan5x}$

By TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITY:

$tan (A-B) = \frac{tanA - tanB}{1+ tanAtanB}$

Putting this identity here, and taking A = 9 x, B = 5 x, we get

$\frac{tan9x - tan5x}{1+ tan9xtan5x} = tan (9x-5x)$

= tan(4x)

Hence, the given expressions simplifies to tan (4x).

You have $50 in your savings account.Each week you deposit $5 in your account. Write an expression that models the situation.

Lemur [1.5K]

50+30y

It is 30y because there are 7 days in a week and each week you deposit $5 so 5*7 is 30.

10. The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number. Their difference is 14 less than the second number. Find each

Lynna [10]

The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number:

x + y = 2x +13

x - y = y - 14

solve the system of equations:

x - (x + 13) = (x +13) - 14

x = -12

y = 1
