We need to add like terms and distribute before we try to isolate X.
10x+3=8x+4-2
10x+3=8x+2

Now let's isolate x. We should start with subtracting 8x from both sides.
2x+3=2
Now, let's subtract 3 from both sides.
2x=-1
Now divide each side by 2.
X=-0.5
We now know x is -0.5, so let's check.
5(-0.5)+5(-0.5)+3=4[2(-0.5)+1]-2
-2.5-2.5+3=4(0)-2
-5+3=0-2
-2=-2

So, X= -0.5

How can you use a number line to compare and order numbers?

miskamm [114]

The numbers going to the left on a number line means the values are smaller and the numbers going to the right means the values are bigger.

Take the value '0' for example, the value on the right of zero is '1', which is a value bigger than zero, and the value to the left of '0' is '-1', which is a value smaller than zero.

HELP ASAP!!!! Given (x, y ) = (5, 15). Find tan θ.

Darina [25.2K]

tan θ is defined as the opposite/adjacent side to the angle in a triangle

in this case you have a triangle which forms from (0,0) to (5,0) and (5,15), with θ at (0,0)

-> your x coordinate is the adjacent side, and y the opposite

tan θ=opposite/adjacent=y/x=15/5=3

What are the answers since I’m confused an all over the place

dalvyx [7]

3 squares = 4 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 3/4.
3/4 = 12/16
:::::
4 squares = 2 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 4/2.
4/2 = 2/1
:::::
2 squares = 5 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 2/5.
2/5 = 4/10
