Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation: First you subtract 5 from both sides to single out the -3x. Then you will have -3x = -21. You will then divide both sides by negative three because you want to single out the x. After that, you will have the answer of x = 7

Ugo [173]

Answer:

According to the passage, whales weight 300,000 pounds on average. Narwhales weigh 2,000 pounds on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question is extremely vague, I'll just answer what's the weight of whales and the weight of narwhals.

According to the paragraph, blue whales weigh 3× $10^{5}$ pounds.

This is what we call scientific notation. You could solve it normally, or you could use a faster method.

Scientific notation states that the first number that you see, the three, is the first part of the answer. The exponent on the number of zero's that there is.

That means that the answer to 3× $10^{5}$ you get 300,000.

Let's do the same thing to Narwhales.

2× $10^{3}$ is 2,000.

Fill in the missing expression

padilas [110]

Answer:

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Explanation:

You can determine the content of each box by subtraction, running the rows and the columns.

The expressions are:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

1. First row:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

[ ] = [10a+ 3] - [ 4a ] - [ 5a ] = 10a - 4a - 5a + 3 = a + 3

2. Second colum:

[ a + 3 ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 3a + 8 ]

[ ] = [ 3a + 8 ] - [ a + 3 ] - [ 4 + a ] = 3a - a + a + 8 - 4 - 3 = a + 1

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

3. Complete the row 3:

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

[ ] = [ 1 ] - [ a + 1 ] - [ -3a ] = - a + 3a + 1 - 1 = 2a

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

4. Complete the fourth column:

[ 10a + 3 ] + [ ] + [ 1 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = 10a + 2b + 8 - 10a - 3 - 1 = 2b + 4

So far, this is the results:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

5. Complete the second row:

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

[ ] = [ 2b + 4 ] - [ 2b ] - [ 4 + a ] = 2b - 2b + 4 - 4 - a = - a

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

6. Complete the first colum:

[ 5a ] + [ 2b ] + [2a ] = [ ]

[ ] = [ 7a + 2b ]

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

7. Complete the last row:

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ] - [ 7a + 2b ] - [ 3a + 8 ] = 0

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$=5x+1$ or $=5x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following equation:

$5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}$

The problem asks one to simplify the expression, the first step in solving this equation is to factor the equation. Rewrite the numerator and denominator of the fraction as the product of two expressions. Remember the factoring patterns:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}$

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{-(3x-1)}$

Now simplify the numerator. Remember, taking the square root of a squared value is the same as taking the absolute value of the expression,

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{1-3x}$

$=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}$

Rewrite the expression without the absolute value sign in the numerator. Remember the general rule for removing the absolute value sign:

$|a-b|\\=a -b$ or $(-a-b) = b-a$

$=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}$

$=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}$ or $=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}$

Simplify both expressions, reduce by canceling out common terms in both the numerator and the denominator,

$=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}$ or $=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}$

$=5x-(-1)$ or $=5x-(1)$

Simplify further by rewriting the expression without the parenthesis, remember to distribute the sign outside the parenthesis by the terms inside of the parenthesis; note that negative times negative equals positive.

$=5x-(-1)$ or $=5x-(1)$

$=5x+1$ or $=5x-1$
