3(4x + 5) = 12 Which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is A.

Here is the completed problem:

3(4x+5)=12

Distributive property.

3(4x+5)=12

Simplify

12x+15=12

Subtract 15 from both sides.

12x+15−15=12−15

12x=−3

Divide both sides by 12.

12x/12 = −3/12

x= −1/4

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 19 + 5x = 180

I say this because it is an angle that is equivalent to the one adjacent to 2x+19, which is on a straight line. That means it is equal to 180.

7x + 19 = 180

180 - 19 = 7x

161/7 = x

x = 23

Answer:

$\frac{15}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos( \alpha ) = \frac{ad}{hip} \\ \\ \sin( \alpha ) = \frac{op}{hip}$

Pythagorean theorem

hip² = op² + ad²

17² = x² + 8²

x² = 17² - 8²

$x \: = \sqrt{{17}^{2} - {8}^{2} } \\ x = \sqrt{289 - 64} \\ x = \sqrt{225} \\ x = 15$

$\sin( \alpha ) = - \frac{15}{17}$

$\sin( - \alpha ) = \frac{15}{17}$
