12 - x = 20 - 5x

You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)

12 = 20 - 4x

Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.

-8 = -4x

To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4

2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2

explain the pattern used to find an answer when you multiply or divide a whole number by a power of 10
scoray [572]
When you multiply or divide a whole number by a power of ten just add the zeros. 5 to the 100000 power is 500000. Five zeros. Hope this helps. Just a little trick and pattern I noticed which helps. :)

Find cos(2115°) and sin(2115°). Identify the measure of the reference angle.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Cos(2115°) =1/√2

Sin(2115°) = -1/√2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the values of Cos (2115°) and Sin (2115°).

Now, 2115° can be written as (23×90°+ 45°).

Therefore, the angle 2115° lies in the 4th quadrant where Cos values are positive and Sin values are negative.

Hence, Cos (2115°) = Cos(23×90° +45°) =Sin 45° {Since 23 is an odd number, so the CosФ sign will be changed to SinФ} =1/√2 (Answer)

Again, Sin (2115°) = Sin(23×90° +45°) = -Cos 45° {Since 23 is an odd number, so the SinФ sign will be changed to CosФ} = -1/√2 (Answer)

Now, the required reference angle is 45°. (Answer)
