Answer:

2(x + 1) = 10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(x + 1) = 10

Solution:

Apply Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

This means multiply 2 with x and 1

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2x + 2 = 10      

Use Subtraction property of equality

A = B, then A - C = B - C

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

2x = 8                  Step 3

Use Division property of equality

It state that if you divide both sides of an equation by same nonzero number then the sides remain equal

Dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

This means value of x is 4

Another method to solve this equation is:

2(x+1)=10  

Use Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)  

2*(x+1) = 2x + 2  

Use commutative property

A + (-B) = (-B) + A

2x + 2 + (-2) = 2x + (-2) + 2

2x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)

2x + 2 - 2 = 10-2  

2x = 8  

Using division property

AX = B  

AX / A = B / A

So

X = B/A

This becomes:

2x = 8

2x = 8.

Divide both sides by 2  

2x / 2 = 8 / 2  

x = 4

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

so since the whole thing should equal 180, and the right triangle is 90,

(3x+11)+(5x+15)=90 then solve for that

8x+26=90

8x=64

divide both sides by 8

so x=8

then plug in 8 for the xs so c is 3(8)+11 --> 24+11 so m<C=35*

m<D=90*

5(8)+15    40+15 so m<E=55

7. The value of a computer has a decay factor of 0.85 per year. After 2 years, the computer is worth $1445. What was the origina
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$64222.22

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the original value as x, we can write:

1445 = x * (0.15)²   (Note: We write 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 and not 0.85 because 0.85 is the decay factor)

1445 = 0.0225x

x ≈ 64222.22

PLZ HELP I NEED AN ANSWER NOW I WILL MARK BRAINLYEST
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Δ MNO ≅ ΔXYZ by AAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\angle M=\angle X, \angle N=\angle Y, and YO = NZ.

Consider YO = NZ

Add OZ on both sides

YO + OZ = NZ + OZ

YZ = NO

Consider triangles Δ MNO and ΔXYZ.

   Statement                                                 Reason

1. \angle M=\angle X                                            Given

2. \angle N=\angle Y                                           Given

3. YZ = NO                                            ∵ YO = NZ

Therefore, the two triangles Δ MNO and ΔXYZ are congruent to each other from AAS postulate as two corresponding angles and a corresponding side are equal to each other.

Write the equation in vertext form<br><br> Vertex: (3,6) ; y-intercept: 2
olganol [36]
Y= a(x-3)^2+6
2= a(0-3)^2+6
2=a(-3)^2+6
2=a(9)+6
2-6=9a
-4=9a
-4/9=a

Therefore the equation in vertex form is
y = -4/9 (x-3)^2+6
