Answer:

x = -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-6) -8x= -2+5(2x+1)

Distribute

3x -18 -8x = -2 +10x +5

Combine like terms

-5x -18 = 3 +10x

Add 5x to each side

-5x+5x-18 = 3+10x+5x

-18 = 3+15x

Subtract 3 from each side

-18-3 = -3+3+15x

-21 =15x

Divide each side by 15

-21/15 = 15x/15

-7/5 = x

Answer:

Option B $\frac{24}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$sin(2\theta) = 2 sin(\theta) cos(\theta)$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{4}{5}$

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember that

$sin^{2} (\theta)+cos^{2} (\theta)=1$

substitute the value

$sin^{2} (\theta)+(\frac{4}{5})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2} (\theta)=1-\frac{16}{25}$

$sin^{2} (\theta)=\frac{9}{25}$

$sin(\theta)=\frac{3}{5}$

Find the value of $sin(2\theta)$

$sin(2\theta) = 2 (\frac{3}{5})(\frac{4}{5})$

$sin(2\theta) = \frac{24}{25}$
