Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

5-x=12

To solve for x, you must first make the equation equal to x (to make x alone on one side).

5 - x = 12

-5         -5

-x = 7

-x(-1)=7(-1)

x = -7

6= 1 - 2n + 5<br> How can I solve this equation
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6 = 1 + -2n + 5

Reorder the terms:

6 = 1 + 5 + -2n

Combine like terms: 1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 + -2n

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 0 + -2n

0 = -2n

Solving

0 = -2n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2n' to each side of the equation.

0 + 2n = -2n + 2n

Remove the zero:

2n = -2n + 2n

Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0

2n = 0

Divide each side by '2'.

n = 0

Simplifying

n = 0

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 16 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.
