Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\$

Collect like terms

$3x -x =-1-3$

Add similar elements

$2x = -4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\x = -2$

How do you figure out a fraction of a whole number

diamong [38]

You have to divide the number by the denominator of the fraction. For example, if you want to find 1/5 of 20, you have to divide 20 by 5 and that tells you that 1/5 of 20 is 4.

This graph shows a proportional relationship.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 0.3, or K=0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:
The chart I attached shows points that are plotted on the proportional line. In order to find the constant of proportionality from these points, you have to divide the amount of change by the number of years. For example, 3 divided by 10 or 6 divided by 20. This results in 0.3, which means that every year, there is 0.3 centimeters of change in the sea level.

How do you this question (pre-cal)

Novay_Z [31]

The goal to proving identities is to transform one side into the other. We can only pick one side to transform while the other side stays the same the entire time. The general rule of thumb is to transform the more complicated side (though there may be exceptions to this guideline).

So I'll take the left hand side and try to turn it into $\csc^2( B )$

One way we can do that is through the following steps:

$\frac{\tan(B) + \cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{\tan(B)}{\tan(B)} + \frac{\cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\frac{1}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\cot(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot^2(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)}+\frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)+cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{1}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\csc^2(B)=\csc^2(B) \ \ {\Large \checkmark}\\\\$

Since we've shown that the left hand side transforms into the right hand side, this verifies the equation is an identity.
