Hi!

The guess and check method is where we fill in the values and check to see if it is correct. 

A. x = 6
2 · 6 + 8 = 6 · 6 - 12
Solve
12 + 8 = 36 - 12
20 = 24
Incorrect.

B. x = 4
2 · 4 + 8 = 6 · 4 - 12
Solve
8 + 8 = 24 - 12
16 = 12
Incorrect.

C. x = 3
2 · 3 + 8 = 6 · 3 - 12
Solve.
6 + 8 = 18 - 12
14 = 6
Incorrect.

D. x = 5
2 · 5 + 8 = 6 · 5 - 12
Solve.
10 + 8 = 30 - 12
18 = 18
Correct!

The answer is D. x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

Solve for x.<br> 5(x - 3) + 4(x + 3) = 3(x - 1)<br> What’s the answer ?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

5(x - 3) + 4(x + 3) = 3(x - 1)

Distribute

5x -15 +4x +12 = 3x-3

Combine like terms

9x -3 = 3x-3

Add 3 on each side

9x -3+3 = 3x-3

9x = 3x

Subtract 3x from each side

9x-3x = 3x-3x

6x =0

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 0/6

x=0

Sin(2x+30°)=1 <br> Tìm x <br> Cảm ơn vì giúp đỡ
Pie

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking us to find where sin(2x + 30) has a sin of 1. If you look at the unit circle, 90 degrees has a sin of 1. Mathematically, it will be solved like this (begin by taking the inverse sin of both sides):

sin^{-1}[sin(2x+30)]=sin^{-1}(1)

On the left, the inverse sin "undoes" or cancels the sin, leaving us with

2x + 30 = sin⁻¹(1)

The right side is asking us what angle has a sin of 1, which is 90. Sub that into the right side:

2x + 30 = 90 and

2x = 60 so

x = 30

You're welcome!

Identify any extraneous solution. See above pic
Sav [38]

Answer:

There are no extraneous solutions

Reasoning:

An extraneous solution is a solution that isn't valid, it might be imaginary like the square root of a negative number.

first we want to isolate z:

1+sqrt(z)=sqrt(z+5)

^2 all      ^2 all

(1+sqrt(z))(1+sqrt(z))=z+5

expand

1+2sqrt(z)+z=z+5

-1              -z  -z -1

2sqrt(z)=4

/2           /2

sqrt(z)=2

^2 all    ^2 all

z=4

Since there is one solution and it is a real number, there are no extraneous solutions.
