\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.

\tt Step~1:

For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:

\tt (0.5)(6x+3)=7-(3x+1)

Let's distribute the 0.5 first.

\tt 0.5*6x=3x\\0.5*3=1.5

\tt Step~2:

Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.

\tt -1*3x=-3x\\-1*1=-1

Then, we simplify the entire expression.

\tt 7-3x-1=-3x+6

\tt Step~3:

Our equation now:

\tt 3x+1.5=-3x+6

Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.

\tt 3x(+3x)+1.5=-3x (3x)+6\\6x+1.5=6

\tt Step~4:

Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.

\tt 6x+1.5(-1.5)=6(-1.5)\\6x=4.5

\tt Step~5:

Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.

\tt \frac{6x}{6} =x\\\frac{4.5}{6}= 0.75~or~\frac{3}{4}

\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~x=0.75~(or~\frac{3}{4})}

Law of reflection. Easy question please help (picture included)
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>Simple. The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. These two angles are measured relative the normal line (line perpendicular to the surface). The angle of reflection is therefore 34 degrees also.  However, since the question is asking for the angle relative to the mirror, then the answer is 90-54 = 36</span>° Thus your answer is C. 36°
