The equation 3x+4=5x-4 has the solution set {4}. explain why the equation (3x+4)+4=5x-4)+4 also has the solution set {4}

1 answer:

5 0

Notice that the terms in parentheses on both sides of the equation are added to 4.

(3x + 4) + 4 = (5x - 4) + 4

So we can set the equation as.

3x + 4 = 5x - 4

Subtract 3x on both sides of equation.

4 = 2x - 4

Add 4 on both sides of equation.

8 = 2x

Divide both sides of equation by 2.

4 = x

4 is the only value that satisfies the statement.

Answer:

n= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the equation of line which passes through (6,3) and (8,4).

Then we have to pass this line through the point (n , -2).

we know, equation of line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

$\frac{x-x1}{x1-x2}=\frac{y-y1}{y1-y2}$

So, the equation of line passing through (6,3) and (8,4) is

$\frac{x-6}{6-8}=\frac{y-3}{3-4}$

or, $\frac{x-6}{-2} =\frac{y-3}{-1}$

multiplying both sides by -2

x-6=2(y-3)

or, x-6=2y-6

or, x-2y=6-6

or, x-2y=0

Now, we have to pass this line through (n,-2)

So, using the point in the line, that is using x=n , y=-2

we get

n-2(-2)=0

or, n+4=0

or, n=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side. The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.

This triangle has 2 given angles, 50° and 60°.

We can find the measure of the third angle, x.

50 + 60 + x = 180

x + 110 = 180

x = 70

The three angles have measures 50°, 60°, and 70°.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. That is side a.

The longest side is opposite the largest angle. That is side b.

The order from longest to shortest is

b, c, a

Answer:

197

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion is; p^ = 12/50 = 0.24

Margin of error of 5% is given by the formula;

ME = (z_0.05) √[p^(1 - p^)/n]

Let's make n(number of sample) the subject.

n = ((z_0.05)/ME)²((p^)(1 - p^))

From tables, the z-score of 0.05 is 1.645

Thus;

n = ((1.645)/0.05)²(0.24(1 - 0.24))

n ≈ 197
