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.

The figure shown below is composed of a semicircle and a non-overlapping equilateral triangle and contains a hole that is also c

Sloan [31]

Check the picture below.

since we know the radius of the larger semicircle is 8, thus its diameter is 16, which is the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. We also know the smaller semicircle has a radius of 1/3, and thus a diameter of 2/3, namely the lenght of one side of the small equilateral triangle.

now, if we just can get the area of the larger figure and the area of the smaller one and subtract the smaller from the larger, we'll be in effect making a hole/gap in the larger and what's leftover is the shaded figure.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of a semi-circle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2\qquad r=radius}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{\textit{area of an equilateral triangle}}{A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\qquad s=\stackrel{side's}{length}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\Large Areas}}{\left[ \stackrel{\textit{larger figure}}{\cfrac{1}{2}\pi 8^2~~+~~\cfrac{16^2\sqrt{3}}{4}} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{1}{2}\pi \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2 +\cfrac{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\right]}$

$\bf \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\frac{4}{9}\sqrt{3}}{4} \right] \\\\\\ \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{9} \right]~~\approx~~ 211.38 - 0.37~~\approx~~ 211.01$

Solve the equation with the replacement set {–59, –9, 9, 59}

ivann1987 [24]

The equation can be resolve to two equations:

... 34-x = 25 . . . . . solution x = 34 - 25 = 9

... 34-x = -25 . . . . solution x = 34 - (-25) = 59

Your solution is 9, 59.
