You would start by adding the 18 to the 2 to give you 20. then you would subtract x from the 6x to give you 5x. then your equation should be 5x=20, then you divide 20 by 5 and that give you 4. So x would equal 4. x=4

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: subtract 1x from both sides. You should get 2=5x-18.

Step 2: add 18 to both sides to get 5x=20.

Step 3: simplify. you should get x=4

A pole 5 feet tall is used to support a guy wire for a tower, which runs from the tower to a metal stake in the ground. After pl

sammy [17]

The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.

The situation forms a right-angled triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>

A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.

let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

tan ∅ = 5 / 2

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5

∅ = 68.1985905136

∅ = 68.20°

Therefore,

cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20

hypotenuse = 88.8606843161

Therefore,

length of wire ≈ 89 feet.

Point m is located at 4,-2 what is located 2 units for point m

eimsori [14]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$m = (4,-2)$

Required

Point 2 units from m

There are 4 possible points 2 units from m and they are:

$m' = (4+2,-2) = (6,-2)$

$m" = (4,-2+2) = (4,0)$

$m'''= (4-2,-2) = (2,-2)$

$m'''' = (4,-2-2) = (4,-4)$

From the graph, we have:

$A = (4,2)$

$B = (-4,2)$

$C = (2,-3)$

None of the points is 2 units from m

Write an equation for the description <br><br> a number x increased by 16 is 118.

noname [10]

Answer:

x +16 = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

A number(unknown ) = x

Increased = +

Merge all together you have

$x + 16 = 118$

Tip ; If you solve the equation you will get 102 as an answer. 102 +16 =118 .

SO the equation is correct .☻

Tarun has 4 more than the twice the number of tshirts Deepak has.Mahesh has 2 more than thrice the number of T-shirts that Tarun

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Deepak: 4 t-shirts,

Tarun: 12 t-shirts,

Mahesh: 14 t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of t-shirts that Deepak has.

Please consider the complete question.

Tarun has 4 t-shirt more than twice the number of T-shirts Deepak has. Mahesh has 2 more than thrice the number of T-shirts Deepak has. If the ratio of the t-shirt that Tarun and Mahesh have is 6 : 7, find out the number of the t-shirt each of them has.

Since Tarun has 4 t-shirt more than twice the number of T-shirts Deepak has, so the number of t-shirts that Tarun has would be $2x+4$ .
