Solve 3x - x + 2 = 12

7 0

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides (except divide by 0)

add like terms
3x-x=3x-1x=2x

so
3x-x+2=12
2x+2=12
subtract 2 from both sides
2x=10
divide both sides by 2
x=5

For every 12 slices of pizza sold at Ping's Pizza Shop,

kaheart [24]

Answer:

3:5 Is the ratio because there are five pieces of cheese.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 12 pieces, then you can add 4 and 3 together and get 7 and then you can take 7 from 12 and get 5 which is how many cheese pieces there are. Now you know that there are 3 slices of pepperoni and 5 pieces of cheese. Therefore the ratio is 3:5.

At the farmers market, Nathaniel buys two dozen oranges at $3.50 per dozen, four kilograms of apples at $3.25 per kilogram, two

kirill [66]

Nathaniel's total cost is $(3.50 x2 + 3.25 x4 +1.90 x2 +1.20) = $24 he got 5% off so he paid $24- (24* 5/100) =$22.80

Plot the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation y=-x-5

Rainbow [258]

The y intercept is the y value determined when x = 0
y = -0 - 5
y = - 5
The y intercept is (0,-5)

The x intercept is where y = 0
0 = -x - 5
5= -x
x = - 5
The x intercept is (- 5, 0)

Find sinϴ and cosϴ if tanϴ=1/4 and sinϴ>0

_______________

$\mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad\qquad(sin\,\theta\ \textgreater \ 0)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,\theta}{cos\,\theta}=\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{4\,sin\,\theta=cos\,\theta\qquad\quad(i)}$

Square both sides:

$\mathsf{(4\,sin\,\theta)^2=(cos\,\theta)^2}\\\\
\mathsf{4^2\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta}$

$\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta+sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{17\,sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{17}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{17}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}}$

Since $\mathsf{sin\,\theta}$ is positive, you can discard the negative sign. So,

$\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

Substitute this value back into $\mathsf{(i)}$ to find $\mathsf{cos\,\theta:}$

$\mathsf{4\cdot \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}=cos\,\theta}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

I hope this helps. =)
