X + 17 = 22

- 17 - 17

X=5

subtract 17, not 22, from both sides. 17 – 17 = 0 and 22 – 17 = 5. The answer should be x = 5.

Given that (x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18 and that x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6 for real numbers x, y, and z, what is the value of xyz?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18$ Equation 1

$x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6$ Equation 2

What is the value of $xyz$ where each variable represents a real number?

Let's expand equation 1:

$(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18$

$x(xy)+x(xz)+x(yz)+y(xy)+y(xz)+y(yz)+z(xy)+z(xz)+z(yz)=18$

Simplify each term if can:

$x^2y+x^2z+xyz+y^2x+xyz+y^2z+xyz+z^2x+z^2y=18$

See if we can factor a little to get some of the left hand side of equation 2:

The first two terms have $x^2$ and if I factored $x^2$ from first two terms I would have $x^2(y+z)$ which is the first term of left hand side of equation 2.

So let's see what happens if we gather the terms together that have the same variable squared together.

$x^2y+x^2z+y^2x+y^2z+z^2y+z^2x+xyz+xyz+xyz=18$

Factor the variable squared terms out of each binomial pairing:

$x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(y+x)+xyz+xyz+xyz=18$

Replace the sum of those first three terms with what it equals which is 6 from the equation 2:

$6+xyz+xyz+xyz=18$

Combine like terms:

$6+3xyz=18$

Subtract 6 on both sides:

$3xyz=12$

Divide both sides by 3:

$xyz=4$

Can someone help me please ASAP

zmey [24]

Answer:

<h2>140°</h2>

solution,

Let <DEF= x°

<CDE= 2x°

<BAF= 90°

The sum of interior angle of hexagon= 720°

<A + <B + <C + <D + <E +<F = 720°

$90 + 145 + 115 + 2x + x + 160 = 720 \\ 510 + 3x = 720 \\3x + 510 = 720 \\ 3x + 510 - 510 = 720 - 510 \\ 3x = 210 \\ \frac{3x}{x} = \frac{210}{3} \\ x = 70 \: degree$

Again,

$< \: cde = 2x \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2 \times 70 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 140 \: degree$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

If 2^x+4 = 2^3x-1, what is the value of x?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2^x+4 = 2^3x-1

x + 4 = 3x - 1

3x - x = 4 + 1

2x = 5

x = 5/2

In a certain isosceles right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse has length

Law Incorporation [45]

The angle bisector, median, and altitude are all the same things in an isosceles triangle.

That means that the legs of the smaller triangles created by the altitude are 4 root 2.

By special properties of an right triangle, the hypotenuse is 8.

Since the legs of the original right triangle are congruent, the area of the original triangle is 8*8/2.

Now we just simplify:

8*8/2=64/2=32

Measure (7x+1) (2x+1)

Gemiola [76]

Smaller angle = 41°

Larger angle = 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x - 1) + (2x + 1) = 180

7x + 2x - 1 + 1 = 180

9x = 180

x = 20

The measure of the smaller angle is

2x + 1

= 2(20) + 1

= 40 + 1

<u>= 41°</u>

The measure of the larger angle is

7x - 1

= 7(20) - 1

= 140 - 1

<u>= 139°</u>
