Answer:

x = 5/8 for 5x - 3 = (1/5)x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we want to isolate our 3 from our x-values. You can add three to both sides of the equation and get it to the other side and then subtract 1/5x from 5x.

(5x - 3) + 3 = ((1/5)x) + 3

5x = (1/5)x + 3

5x = (25/5)x

((25/5)x) - (1/5)x = ((1/5)x + 3) - (1/5)x

(24/5)x = 3

From here, you would want to solve for x. This would mean multiplying 3 by 5 and dividing your product by 24.

5*3 = 15

15/24 = 5/8 = x

Hope this helps!

What is the best approximation of the length of segment QS? (Note: cos 80° = 0.17)

matrenka [14]

Answer: $QS=11.8cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of $RS$ is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment $QS$ as following:

$cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17$

3. Substitute values and solve for $QS$ :

$0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm$

4. To the nearest tenth:

$QS=11.8cm$
