Answer:
x
19/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply both sides by 6 (the LCM of 6,3)
5/2 + 3-x <= 2(x-2)
2. Simplify 5/2+3-x to 11/2-x
11/2 - x<=2 (x-2)
3. Expand.
11/2-x<= 2x-4
4. Add x to both sides.
11/2<= 2x-4+x
5. Simplify 2x-4+x to 3x-4.
11/2<=3x-4
6. Add 4 to both sides.
11/2+4<=3x
7. Simplify 11/2+4 to 19/2
19/2<=3x
8. Divide both sides by 3
19/2 /3 <=x
9. Simplify 19/2 /3 to 19/2*3
19/2*3<=x
10. Simplify 2*3 to 6
19/6<=x
11. Switch sides.
x>= 19/6
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
X= 40 is the answer to this equation
-3x - 3/4 = 9
-3x - 3/4 + 3/4 = 9 + 3/4
-3x = 9 3/4
I change 9 3/4 to improper fraction
-3x = 39/4
-3x / -3 = 39/4 / -3
X = 39/4 x -1/3 (change division to multiplication so that you can complete the problem)
X = -39/12
You can convert that if you want to -3 3/12
So x = -3 3/12
Simplify to x = -3 1/4
