Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3

6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Factor out the common term; 3

3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Cancel out 3

2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2

2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2

Factor out the common term; 2

2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2

Cancel out 2

2x - 5 = 5x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x

Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2

-5 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

-5 + 2 = 3x

Simplify -5 + 2 to -3

-3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>

Y=4x +5 y=x -4 a (3, 17) b (-3, -7) c (-3, 7) d (3, 7)
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

(-3, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 5

y = x - 4

add 4 to both sides of the second equation to get y + 4 = x

plug that back into the equation to get y = 4(y + 4) +5

distribute to get y = 4y + 16 + 5

combine like terms y = 4y + 21

subtract 4y on both sides to get -3y = 21

divide both sides by -3 to get y = -7

plug -7 into the second equation to get -7 = x - 4

add 4 on both sides to get -3 = x

therefore (-3, -7)

Bob is driving along a straight and level road toward a mountain. At some point on his trip, he measures the angle of elevation
avanturin [10]

Answer:

5353 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have height of the mountain = x

We also have

tan (21°44')= x/13428.7 → x=5352.98ft

Height of the mountain to the nearest foot = 5353 ft

Hope this helps ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
