The answer is

Final result :

x - 2
Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 3 :

Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 3 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
———————————— = ———————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(2x - 21) (x + 15)
————————— + ————————
3 3
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

Final result :

x - 2

Solve the system of equations​
34kurt

Answer:

y=17/2 and x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

By subsitution, we get 4x+4x+1=16, so 8x=15. Thus, x=15/8. Next, we plug x in to find y. y=4*15/8 +1, or 15/2 +1 = 17/2

NEED HELP ASAPPPPPPPPP
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

A  = 57°

B = 19°

C = 104°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a triangle with 3 angles:

A, B, and C.

We know that:

"Angle A is 3 times larger than angle B"

We can write this as:

A = 3*B

"Angle C was 10° less than 6 times angle B"

This can be written as:

C = 6*B - 10°

And we also know that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°

Then we also have the equation:

A + B + C = 180°

So we have a system of 3 equations:

A = 3*B

C = 6*B - 10°

A + B + C = 180°

To solve this, the first step is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

We can see that A is already isolated in the first one, so we can skip that step.

Now we need to replace A in the other equations, to get:

C = 6*B - 10°

(3*B) + B + C = 180°

Now we have a system of two equations.

Let's do the same procedure, we can see that C is isolated in the top equation, so we can just replace that in the other equation to get:

3*B + B + (6*B - 10°) = 180°

Now we can solve this for angle B

4*B + 6*B - 10° = 180°

10*B - 10° = 180°

10*B = 180° + 10° = 190°

B = 190°/10 = 19°

Now that we know the measure of angle B, we can input this in the equations:

A = 3*B

C = 6*B - 10°

To find the measures of the other two angles:

A = 3*19° = 57°

C = 6*19° - 10° = 104°

Is 3.5 > or < or equal to 1/2
Sloan [31]
Simple, we know > sign is greater than sign and < sign means less than sign. We divide 1/2 and that gets us 0.5. 3.5 is greater than 1/2 so the answer would be 3.5>1/2
