Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(x-3) = 20

-4x + 12 = 20

^ Here, Glendon added 12 to 20 instead of subtracting. Her equation was not balanced.

-4x = 8

x = -2

2m=-6n-5 literal equation
Bingel [31]

Answer:

read below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, archtan /  

tan

−

1

(

x

)

is the inverse of tangent. Tan is  

sin

cos

. Like the inverse of sin, the inverse of tan is also restricted to quadrants 1 and 4.

Knowing this we are solving for the inverse of tan -1. We are basically being asked the question what angle/radian does tan(-1) equal. Using the unit circle we can see that tan(1)= pi/4.

Since the "Odds and Evens Identity" states that tan(-x) = -tan(x). Tan(-1)= -pi/4.

Knowing that tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4. the answer is in either of those two quadrants. BUT!!! since inverse of tan is restricted to quadrants 1 and 4 we are left with the only answer -pi/4.

the answer is m=-3n-5/2 or n=2m+5/6

What are the points of intersection of -x^2+9x-3 and y=3x
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Easiest and fastest way is to graph both equations into a graphing calc and trace the graph to where they intersect.

Alternatively, you can use substitution to solve for your answer.

konstantin123 [22]

Joe completes an average of (10 ft)/(5 h) = 2 ft/hour. Bill completes an average of (10 ft)/(4 h) = 2.5 ft/hour. Together, they complete 2+2.5 = 4.5 ft/hour. At that rate, it will take them

... (120 ft)/(4.5 ft/h) = 26 2/3 h
