[x-1]=5x+10

We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10

x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4

2) x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2

we have two  possible solutions:
solution₁;       x=-11/4
solution₂:       x=-3/2

we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4  - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4  + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4   This solution don´t work.

2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2  - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2  + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.

Therefore:

Answer: x=-3/2.

Solution #1 x-1=5x+10


x-1=5x+10

x-5x=10+1

-4x=11

x=-11/4

Solution #2 x-1=-(5x+10)


x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-5x-10

x+5x=-10+1

6x=-9

x=-9/6=-3/2

A triangle T is bounded (on three sides) by the lines x = 6, y = 0, and y = 3 2 x. A rectangle of width w is inscribed inside T.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

33.85 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

you must first draw the triangle on the plane using the equations (see

attached file), you will have a right angle triangle with a height of 192 and a base of 6.

then you calculate the angle with the tangent function = 88.21

Then you use the small triangle to find the value of a (see attached file).

Finally, you propose an equation for X to find one of the sides of the triangle, once you have x squared it, and you already have the area,

You need to buy tissue paper sheets to cushion gifts being placed inside a box. The box is 12 inches wide by 16 inches long. The
Kay [80]

Answer:

Area of tissue paper is 384 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of box = 16 inches.

Width of the box = 12 inches.

We need to find find the area of the tissue paper.

But It is given that the area of the tissue paper sheet is based on twice the length times the width of the box.

Hence Framing in equation form we get;

Area of tissue paper = 2(length\ of \ box \times width \ of \ box)

Hence Substituting the given values we get;

Area of tissue paper = 2(12\times 16) = 2\times 192 = 384 in^2

Hence Area of tissue paper is 384 square inches.
