Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)+6x = 3x-15+7x

3x-15+7x = 65

10x = 80

x = 8

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65 Distribute 3 into (x - 5)

(3)x + (3)(-5) + 7x = 65

3x - 15 + 7x = 65 Combine like terms(terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), or combine 3x and 7x

10x - 15 = 65 Add 15 on both sides

10x - 15 + 15 = 65 + 15

10x = 80 Divide 10 on both sides to get "x" by itself

$\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{80}{10}$

x = 8

PROOF

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65 Substitute/plug in 8 into "x" since x = 8

3(8 - 5) + 7(8) = 65

3(3) + 56 = 65

9 + 56 = 65

65 = 65

djverab [1.8K]

Complete question is;

A 21 ft ladder is leaning against a tall wall with the foot of the ladder placed at 7 feet from the base of the wall and the angle of elevation is?

Answer:

θ = 70.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation simply means the angle that the ladder makes with the ground. Let's call this angle θ.

I've attached a diagram showing the triangle made by this ladder and the wall.

From the attached diagram, we can see the triangle formed by the ladder and the wall.

We can find the angle of elevation θ from trigonometric ratios.

Thus;

7/21 = cos θ

cos θ = 0.3333

θ = cos^(-1) 0.3333

θ = 70.5°

The sum of two numbers is 0. Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. Let x represent the large

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x+y=0 and 3x-2y=10

Step-by-step explanation

Let the numbers be x and y.

The sum of the two numbers is 0

$\implies \: x + y =0$

Letting the smaller number be y and the

larger number be x:

twice the smaller number

$\implies \: 2y$

Also, 3 times the larger number

$\implies \: 3x$

Now ,twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.

$\implies \: 3x - 2y = 10$

Therefore the equations are

$x + y =0$

and

$3x - 2y =10$
