X=4

How did I get this?
3(2x-5)+5(x-6)=-1
(6x-15)+(5x-30)
11x-45=-1
11x=44
x=4

I put it in parentheses so it’s easier to understand
First you’re going to distribute 3 to the 2x and -5 so 6x-15. Then you will do the same with the 5 so 5x-30. Combine like terms- 6x+5x and -15-30. Once you get 11x-45=-1 move the -45 over. Since it’s negative you’re going to add. 45+-1=44. After you have moved over the -45 you should have 11x=44. Lastly you are going to divide 44 by 11 which give you your answer x=4.

Answer:

C. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I almost thought this was going to be Pythagorean Theorem, but no.

Use Cosine Law:

cos θ = $\frac{10^2 + 21^2 - 17^2}{2(10)(21)}$

θ = cos−1(0.6)

θ = 53.130...

Now use the SOHCAHTOA ratio for sine ( $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ ) to find x now that you have one angle:

sin θ = $\frac{x}{10}$

x = 10sinθ (θ isn't needed to be written out as it is shown in the equation above)

x = 8

Solve for the given variable 7x+5y=6 for y

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

y = (6/5) - (7/5) x

Step-by-step explanation:

goal: to rearrange the equation such that it takes the form:

y = f(x) ; where f(x) is an expression in terms of x

Given:

7x+5y=6 subtract 7x from both sides

5y = 6 - 7x (divide both sides by 5)

y = (6-7x) / 5

y = (6/5) - (7/5) x
