Combine like terms the solve. For example:

5x + 20x = 100
25x = 100
/25 = /25

x =4

Answer: x = \frac{c}{a + b}

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the variable we're solving for in this problem appears in two separate terms. In this situation, we must first factor the <em>x</em> out of both terms to get x(a + b) = c.

Think about it as the reverse of the distributive property. In other words, if we take our second step and distribute the <em>x</em> through the parentheses, we end up back at our first step.

The beauty of factoring is that the two <em>x's</em> in this problem have now been combined into one <em>x</em> and we can get <em>x</em> by itself by simply dividing both sides by <em>a + b</em> and we have x = \frac{c}{a + b}.

In the image provided, I have highlighted the <em>x</em> in purple so we know what we're solving for and I have shown you the steps as well.

Can someone help me out ASAP and possible step by step
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

  49°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information that BC=DC tells you triangle BCD is an isosceles triangle and that angle y is one of the two equal base angles. Then ...

  y + y + 82 = 180 . . . . . the sum of angle measures is 180 degrees

  2y = 98 . . . . subtract 82

  y = 49 . . . . . divide by 2

The measure of y is 49°.

Two companies Company A and Company B offer the same starting salary of $20,000 per year. Company A gives a raise of $1000 each
Bingel [31]
A.) A = 20000 + 1000n
B = 20000(1.04)^n

b.) For A, sn = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d)
s20 = 20/2(2(20000) + 1000(20 - 1)) = 10(40000 + 19(1000)) = 10(40000 + 19000) = 10(59000) = $590,000
For B, sn = a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)
s20 = 20000((1.04)^20 - 1)/(1.04 - 1) = 20000(2.191 - 1)/0.04 = 20000(1.191)/0.04 = 23822.46 / 0.04 = $595,561.57

horsena [70]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

His answer is incorrect.  If we round the dimensions, 3.76 m is almost 4 m, and 5.49 m is almost 5.5 m.  4 × 5.5 = 22.  So his answer should be close to 22 m².
