Steps to solve:

5(x + 1) = 20

~Distributive property

5x + 5 = 20

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

~Simplify

5x = 15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 15/5

~Simplify

x = 3

Best of Luck!

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for x, our first step is to distribute the 5 through the parentheses on the left side.

5 times x is 5x and 5 times 1 is 5.

So we have 5x + 5 = 20.

Next, we need to isolate the x term by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation to get 5x = 15.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x = 3 which is the solution to our equation.

It's very easy to make careless mistakes when using the distributive property so make sure to check your answer.

In this problem, to check our answer, we substitute 3 back in for x in the original equation and we have 3 + 1 which is 4 and 5 x 4 which is 20 so our answer checks.

A sweater is on sale for 30% off the ticketed price of $84. How much will the sweater cost after the discount?

84 x .70 = $58.80

Or if you want to do it the long way you can calculate the actual discount (your savings from this purchase first then subtract it from the original price of $84. It`s just easier to figure out what is left (which is 70% of $84).

Find the exact value of sin2 theta given sin theta =5/13, 90°<theta <180°

Zepler [3.9K]

Now, we know that 90°< θ <180°, that simply means the angle θ is in the II quadrant, where sine is positive and cosine is negative.

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}$

$\bf \pm\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{144}=a\implies \pm 12 =a \implies \stackrel{II~quadrant}{-12=a}
\\\\\\
therefore \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-12}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sin(2\theta )\implies 2sin(\theta )cos(\theta )\implies 2\left(\frac{5}{13} \right)\left( \frac{-12}{13} \right)\implies -\cfrac{120}{169}$

How would I do this

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

the ramp must be lowered

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of the sine function to find the height of a ramp that is 8°.

Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(8°) = height/8

height = 8×sin(8°) = 1.11

The height Nate's dad allows is 1.11 feet. At 1.5 feet, the ramp is too high.

The ramp must be lowered.
