<span>5x - 6 = 4x + 8
-4x        -4x

x - 6 = 8
    +6   +6

x = 14

Answer: x = 14</span>

First let's get X to one side by subtracting 4x from both sides. (5x-4x) -6 = 8. x-6=8. Now we add 6 to both sides to isolate "x". x=8+6=14. Our answer is x=14.

3 times the measurement of an angle is 14 less than the measure of its compliment. whats the measurement of the angle?
Rina8888 [55]
The answer is 71°.
x = angle
3x = 90 - x - 14
4x - 76
x = 19°
90 - x = 71°

How do you solve this problem?
jekas [21]
Very nice problem. You should look up the history of this question. It has a very long one having to do with mirrors made between 50 BC and 50 AD.

Step One
Find AB, BC, AC
Before beginning this problem, I'm going to arbitrarily name 
c = AB
a = BC
b = AC It just makes the calculations easier.

AB = radius of the large circle - radius of the medium circle = 20.62 - 8.04 = 12.58
BC = Radii of the two smaller circles added together = 8.04 + 7.35 = 15.39
AC = Radius of the large circle - Radius of the small circle = 20.62 - 7.35 = 13.27

So
a = 15.39
b = 13.27
c = 12.58

Step Two
Find Angle A or <BAC
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c * Cos(A)
15.39^2 = 12.58^2 + 13.27^2 - 2 * 12.58 * 13.27 * Cos(A)
236.852 = 158.26 + 176.1 -  333.87 * Cos(A)
236.852 = 334.4 - 333.87*Cos(A)
-97.55 = - 333.87 *  Cos(A) 
-97.55 / -333.87 = Cos(A)
0.2922 = cos(A)
A = cos-1(0.2922)
A = 73.01 degrees

Step Three
Just to see if you understand what was done, I'll give you the givens for finding c, and the answer and you can work through the calculations to see if your answer agrees with mine. If it doesn't PM me.
c = 12.58
b = 13.27
a = 15.39

12.58^2 = 13.27^2 + 15.39^2 - 2*13.27*15.39*Cos(C)
C = 51.42

Step Four
Find <B
Every triangle has 180 degrees so
B = 180 - <A - C
B = 180 - 51.42 - 74.01
B = <54.57. 
I have found a moderator who opened the question up so that I can show you why the Cos law is the only way to do this. If the circles are very disproportionate as in this diagram, then no simple assumption can be made. The cos law is all that will work. I would have posted this earlier, but I didn't think anyone would find another method. It's ingenious but not possible for the situation below.

Which is the better buy, 7 pounds for $8.47 or 9 pounds for $11.07?
wel
Let us take the case of 7 pounds for $8.47 first.
7 pounds of a product costs = 8.47 dollars
Then
1 pound of the same product will cost = (8.47/7) dollars
                                                             = 1.21 dollars
Now let us take the case of 9 pounds for $11.07
9 pounds of a product costs = 11.07 dollars
Then
1 pound of the same product will cost = (11.07/9) pounds
                                                             = 1.23 dollars
So from the above deductions we can see that 9 pounds for $11.07 is a better buy than 7 pounds for $8.47. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can use this method for solving similar problems.

12. Write the first five terms of two different sequences that have 10 as the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a)  The arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term.

b) The arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use for example the arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term. Then the first two terms of this sequence are:

8, and (8+2) = 10 Therefore the second term is 10.

Another arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15. The firs two terms of this sequence are:

15, and  (15 - 5)  = 10. Therefore again a 10 as second term.

Need Help ASAP<br><br> 1.5x+6=2+3x<br> 2.2(6-2y)=-1(4y-9) <br> 3.2z-6=2(z+2)+10
zavuch27 [327]
1. 5x + 6 = 2 + 3x
-3x. - 3x
-------------------------
2x + 6 = 2
- 6. - 6
-------------------------
2x = -4
---- -----
2. 2

x = -2

2. 2(6 -2y) = -1(4y-9)
12 -4y = -4y + 9
+4y. +4y
----------------------------
.12 /=\ 9
No solution

3. 2z-6 = 2(z+2) + 10
2z -6 = 2z + 4 + 10
2z -6 = 2z +14
-2z. -2z
-6 /=\ 14
No solution.
