First, lets take all the x values on one side.

3x + x + 8 = -x + x + 20
4x + 8 = 20

Now, lets put the numbers on the other side.

4x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3

Hope this helps!

Hello there.

First, we need to isolate x to one side of the equation. To do this, we need to cancel out one of the x's by adding or subtracting it's opposite. Since the right side of the equation has a lower value, we'll cancel that one.

Remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.

3x + 8 = -x + 20
Add 1x to both sides (this cancels out -x and adds 1x to 3x).

4x + 8 = 20
Now we need to isolate the variable. Our current equation has the variable being added to a number, so we need to cancel out that number. To do this, we need to subtract the value of the number.

4x + 8 = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides.

4x = 12
Now, all we need to do is perform the opposite order of operations to 4x in order to solve for x. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we need to divide both sides by 4.

x = 3 is your answer.

I hope this helps, and have a great day!

For each group of three forces below, determine whether the forces in each pair are pulling at right angles to each other. 13 lb
Alex17521 [72]
From the given problem, I gather that there are only two groups of forces. These are:
13 lb, 35 lb, resultant force 30 lb
20 lb, 15 lb, resultant force 25 lb

We use the pythagorean theorem to determine if the three forces are grouped correctly, such that the resultant force is the hypotenuse.

Resultant Force = √(a² + b²)

So, for the first group,
30 ? √(13² + 35²)
30 ≠ 37.33
Thus, the first group does not pull at right angles to each other.

For the second group,
25 ? √(20² + 15²)
25 = 25
Thus, the second group does pull at right angles to each other.

(20pts) Prove that the product of any two odd numbers is always odd. Make sure to explain your proof​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

See below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because odd numbers are always 1 greater than even numbers, we can call the two odd numbers x + 1 and y + 1 where x and y are even integers. Multiplying the two gives us:

(x + 1) * (y + 1)

= x * y + x * 1 + 1 * y + 1 * 1

= xy + x + y + 1

We know that x * y will be even because x and y are also even and the sum of two even numbers will be even, and we also know that x and y are even and that 1 is odd. Since the sum of even and odd numbers is always odd, the product of any two numbers is always odd.

*NOTE: I put a limitation on x and y in my proof (the limitation was that x and y must be EVEN integers) but you don't have to do that, you could make the odd integers 2x + 1 and 2y + 1 where x and y could be any integer from the set Z like mirai123 did. I simply gave this proof because it was the first thing that came to mind. While mirai123's proof and mine are different, they are still both correct.

What percent of 20 is 6
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:  30 percent of 20 is 6.

_______________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________________________________

(n/100)  * 20 = 6  ?  

Solve for "n"  .

_______________________________________________

Divide each side of the equation by "20" :

{ (n/100) * 20 }  / 20  = 6 / 20 ;

to get:

n/100  = 6/20 ;  

↔ 6/20 = n/100 ; solve for "n" ;

Look at the denominators:


20 * ? = 100 ?

  100/ 20 = ?  ;

  100/20 = 5 ;


So, 20 *  " 5" = 100 ;

Then 6* 5 = "n"  (for the numerator, "n";  in  :   "n /100" ) ;

                  →  6 * 5 = 30 ;

                  →  n = 30 .

_______________________________________________

 Answer:  30 percent of 20 is 6.
