Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$3x=5(x-4)$

step 1

$3x=5(x-4)$ ------> given problem

step 2

Applying the Distributive Property right side

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

$3x=5x-20$

step 3

Applying the Subtraction Property of Equality

Subtract (3x-20) both sides

$3x-(3x-20)=5x-20-(3x-20)$

$20=2x$

step 4

Applying Division Property of Equality

Divide by 2 both sides

$20\2=x$

Rewrite

$x=10$

Answer:

Q+D = 65, multiply both sides by 2525Q + 25D = 162525Q + 10D = 950 subtract to get 15D = 675 D = 675/15 = 135/3 = 45 dimes Q = 65-45 = 20 quarters25(20) + 10(45) = 500+450 = 950

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression tanx/1+ secx

djverab [1.8K]

The acceptable first step in simplifying the expression $\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x}}$ is (a) $\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x(1 - sec\ x)}{(1 + sec\ x)(1 - sec\ x)}}$

The expression is given as:

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x}}$

To change the form of the expression, we simply perform several arithmetic operations on it.

Start by multiplying the expression by 1/1

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} \times \frac 11}$

Express 1 /1 as (1 - sec x)/(1 - sec x)

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} \times \frac{1 - sec\ x}{1 - sec\ x}}$

Rewrite the above expression as follows:

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x(1 - sec\ x)}{(1 + sec\ x)(1 - sec\ x)}}$

Hence, the acceptable first step is (a)
