$5-6x=8x+17 \\-14x=12\implies x=-\frac{6}{7}$

Hope this helps.

Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

-6x + 5 = 8x + 17

-6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

-14x + 5 = 17

-14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

-14x = 12

-14x/-14 = 12/-14

x = -6/7

Find an equation for y (in terms of β and α). Then find tan y.

dmitriy555 [2]

This can be expanded through the tangent angle addition formula:

tan(α+β)=tanα+tanβ1−tan -α + tanβ

Thus,tan(x+y)=tanx+tany1−tan x tany

Hope it helps you

Find out the Area of a triangle .

To proof

Formula

Area of Triangle

$= \frac{1}{2}\times( {x_1(y_{2}-y_{3}) +x_{2}(y_{3} - y_{1})+x_{3}(y_{1}-y_{2})})$

Now vertices are D(3, 3) , E(3, −1) , and F(−2, −5) .

$= \frac{1}{2} (3\times(-1 +5) + 3\times(-5-3)-2\times(3+1))$

Solving the above

$= \frac{1}{2}(3\times4+3\times-8 -2\times4)$

$=\frac{1}{2} (12-24-8)\\ =\frac{1}{2} (-32+12)\\=\frac{1}{2} (-20)$

= -10 units²

(Neglected the negative sign as area cannot be negative.)

= 10 units ²

Area of a triangle is 10 units ²

Hence proved
