2 answers:

6 0

You can combine like terms:(3x and -7x)
-4x+15=-7
now, we subtract 15 from both sides:
-4x=-22
finally, we divide both sides by -4
x=5.5 or 5 1/2

3x+15−7x=−7

Simplify:

3x+15−7x=−7

3x+15+−7x=−7

(3x+−7x)+(15)=−7(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+15=−7

Subtract 15 from both sides.

−4x+15−15=−7−15

−4x=−22

Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4=−22/−4

x=11/2

A quadratic equation is shown: x2 + 18x + 76 = 0 Which of the following is the first correct step to write the above equation in

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the constant that is needed to be able to write the expression in the desired form. That constant is the square of half the x-term coefficient: (18/2)^2 = 9^2 = 81.

The constant that is present is 76, which is 5 fewer than the needed constant, so the "first step" is to add 5 to both sides of the equation:

x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Then the next step would be to write the left side as a square:

(x +9)^2 = 5 . . . . . . . p = -9; q= 5

I think we're not supposed to do more than 3 problems in one answer; certainly not five pages. Does the 1/3 mean there are 10 more to come?

I'll do the first page.

Right triangle, opposite side of 10, adjacent side of 21,

tan x = opp/adj = 10/21

x = arctan 10/21 = 25.46°

Answer: 25

cos x = adj / hyp = 10/14

x = arccos 10/14 = 44.42°

Answer: 44

tan x = opp/adj = 12/24 = 1/2

x = arctan 1/2 = 26.57°

Answer: 27

tan x = 31/32

x = arctan 31/32 = 44.09°

Answer: 44

There are 3 feet in a yard. How many yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit?

Ratling [72]

The number of yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit is 333 1/3 yards

<h3>How to determine the number of yards to drive?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached figure, we have:

Exit = 1000 feet

From the question, we have

3 feet = 1 yard

So, the number of yards is

Number of yard =Exit/3 yards

This gives

Number of yard = 1000/3 yards

Evaluate the quotient

Number of yard = 333 1/3 yards

Hence, the number of yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit is 333 1/3 yards
