I'm not 100% but I got x=-3/2
This should answer your question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to get like items on the same side(put the variables on one side and the non-variables on the other). Remember anything you do on one side of the equal, you have to do on the other side, too.
5X+3=7X-1 I'm going to move the -1 first, but you don't have to as long as you keep the equation equal.
5X+3+1=7X-1+1 We know that +1-1 is zero and so is -1+1. So
5X+3+1=7X We don't need to keep that zero.
5X+4=7X Now, we want to move the 5X over.
5X-5X+4=7X-5X Simplify and get rid of the zero.
4=2X Last, we have to divide to get the 2 away from the X.
4/2=2X/2 Not everyone know that slash mean divide, :-).
2=X

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
42. The right-angle corner tells you the two marked angles are complementary — they sum to 90°.
(-3x +20)° + (-2x +55)° = 90°
-5x +75 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, divide by °
-5x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 75
x = -3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
The angle of interest is (-3x+20)°. Filling in the found value for x, we have ...
(-3·(-3) +20)° = 29° = m∠BDC
___
43. The distributive property is useful for multiplying polynomials.
(x +2)(3x² -4x +5) = x(3x² -4x +5) +2(3x² -4x +5)
= 3x³ -4x² +5x +6x² -8x +10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
= 3x³ +2x² -3x +10
___
44. Area is the product of length and width, so this becomes a problem in multiplying polynomials.
area = (5a +17)(4a) = 20a² +68a . . . . area in square feet
