Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(9x + -8) + (x + 10) + (x + 2) = 180

Reorder the terms:

(-8 + 9x) + (x + 10) + (x + 2) = 180

Remove parenthesis around (-8 + 9x)

-8 + 9x + (x + 10) + (x + 2) = 180

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 9x + (10 + x) + (x + 2) = 180

Remove parenthesis around (10 + x)

-8 + 9x + 10 + x + (x + 2) = 180

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 9x + 10 + x + (2 + x) = 180

Remove parenthesis around (2 + x)

-8 + 9x + 10 + x + 2 + x = 180

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 10 + 2 + 9x + x + x = 180

Combine like terms: -8 + 10 = 2

2 + 2 + 9x + x + x = 180

Combine like terms: 2 + 2 = 4

4 + 9x + x + x = 180

Combine like terms: 9x + x = 10x

4 + 10x + x = 180

Combine like terms: 10x + x = 11x

4 + 11x = 180

Solving

4 + 11x = 180

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 11x = 180 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 11x = 180 + -4

11x = 180 + -4

Combine like terms: 180 + -4 = 176

11x = 176

Divide each side by '11'.

x = 16

Your answer would be x = 16.

To find the answer you need to collect like terms on the left hand side by adding the x-terms and the numbers, and then solving for x.

9x + x + x = 11x

-8 + 10 + 2 = 4

11x + 4 = 180

- 4

11x = 176

÷ 11

x = 16

I hope this helps!

Determine if the lines r1(t) = <3, 0, 2> + t <1, 2, −2> and r2(s) = <0, 1, −1> + s <4, 1, 1> intersect,

Temka [501]

Answer:

Yes lines are intersecting, point of intersection is <4,2,0>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parametric equations of line are:

$r_{1}(t) = + t \\ r_{1}(t) = \\ r_{1}(t) = ---(1)$

$r_{2}(s) = + s \\ r_{2}(s) = \\ r_{2}(s) = ---(2)\\$

If lines are intersecting then parametric coordinates of (1) are equal to (2)

$3+t=4s---(A)\\2t=1+s---(B)\\2-2t=s-1---(C)\\$

Considering A and B to find values of t and s

From A

t=4s-3---(D)

Putting in (B)

2(4s-3)=1+s

8s-6=1+s

7s=7

s=1

Then

t=4-3

t=1

If lines are intersecting then these values of s and t must satisfy (C)

2-2(1)=1-1

0=0

This shows lines are intersecting.

At this value of t, (1) becomes

$r_{1}(1) = \\=$

Putting s=1 in (2)

$r_{2}(1)=4, 1+1,-1+1>\\=$

Point of intersection is <4,2,0>.

Consider all seven-digit numbers that can be created from the digits 0-9 where the first and last digits must be odd and no digi

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/4 or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The total possibilities of any 7 digit number using 0-9 is :

9×10×10×10×10×10×10=9000000

To work out the total possibilities in this question :

We look at the conditions :

The first digit can only be 5 numbers :

1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9

Now we subtract 5 from 9 :

9-5 = 4

Since no repeats for 2 , 3 , 4, 5, 6:

9 , 8 , 7 , 6 , 5,

5 possibilities for the last digit :

Total possibilities for this code :

4 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 5 = 302400

If it begins with 5 that is only 1 possibility for the first digit

1 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 5 = 75600

Now we make a fraction :

75600÷302400

Dividing top and bottom by 75600 gives you 1/4 or 0.25

Hope this helped and have a good day

Where did mathematics come from

Ganezh [65]

The most ancient mathematical texts came from mesopotamia and Egypt. The “inventors” of math are the Greek beginning in around the 6th century BC.

A family is driving 600 miles. Assuming they stop to get gas 3 times and eat 2 times, how many hours will it take them to reach

Umnica [9.8K]

Lets assume that they are driving at an average of 70mph, and getting gas takes 10 minutes, and stopping to eat takes 30.

t=d/s

t=600/70
t=8.57

Stopping to eat twice is 30 x 2 = 60 (another hour)

and Gas is 10 x 3 = 30 minutes (0.5 hours)

Total time is,

8.57+1+0.5 =10.07

So the trip will take approx 10.7 hours total.

(This is using my assumptions, from my experience!)
