Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = 4x - 6
add 6 to both sides
x + 9 = 4x
subtract x from both sides
9 = 3x
divide 3 from both sides
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
well, by using definition of tan of an angle
let the distance between Earth and shooting star is 
.
since 
,
then 
Substitute y = 3x + 15 to the equation -4x + 7y = 20:
-4x + 7(3x + 15) = 20 <em>use distributive property</em>
-4x + (7)(3x) + (7)(15) = 20
-4x + 21x + 105 = 20 <em>subtract 105 from both sides</em>
17x = -85 <em>divide both sides by 17</em>
x = -5
Substitute the value of x to the equation y = 3x + 15:
y = 3(-5) + 15
y = -15 + 15
y = 0
<h3>Answer: x = -5 and y = 0</h3>
The GCF of 18 and 72 would be the first step.
the gcf is 18
So we we now have 18 (x^2y)(xy)
factor both variables
18xy would be the gcf
