Which of the following values is a solution of 3|5 + x| = 12?

1 answer:

4 0

It is easiest to simply just substitute any of the choices into the original equation and see which one satisfies the equation.

Given the equation: 3 * |5 + x| = 12

Using choice A. x = 7
3 * |5 + 7| = 12
36 =/= 12

Using choice B. x = 1
3 * |5 + 1| = 12
18 =/= 12

Using choice C. x = -9
3 * |5 + -9| = 12
12 = 12

Therefore, the correct answer is C. -9

estimate 0.037854921 to the nearest hundredth express your answer as a single digit times a power of 10

Vilka [71]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's round the value to the nearest hundredth. As you can see, the digit 8 is in the thousandths place and is greater than 5, therefore, you must round up to 0.038.

2. Now express the value as a single digit times a power of 10, as following:

$38$ x $10^{-3}$

Therefore, the answer is: $38$ x $10^{-3}$

7 cos x+1=6 secx solve for x

jonny [76]

7cos(x) + 1 = 6sec(x)
7cos(x) + 1 = 6/cos(x)
7cos^(x) + cos(x) = 6
7cos^(x) + cos(x) - 6 = 0
[7cos(x) - 6][cos(x) + 1] = 0
cos(x) = 6/7 , x = arccos(6/7) and
cos(x) = -1, x = 180
