Answer:

x=-4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation as

6(x+7)+4=-8(x-5)-2

and asked to solve for x

Simplify to get

Distribute 6 over x+7 and on right side -8 over x-5

6x+42+4 = -8x+40-2

Take -8x to left side to become +8x and 46 to right side to become -46

Grouping like terms

14x = 38-46 = -8

Divide by 14

x = -8/14 = -4/7

Since this is an equation, we get a single value for x

and answer is -4/7

Prove that 1/sec0-tan0= sec0+tan0

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{LHS}=\frac{1}{\sec \theta-\tan \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{\sec^{2} \theta-\tan^{2} \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{1}\\=\sec \theta+\tan \theta\\=\text{RHS}$

The base of a triangle is given as 2b. The height of the triangle is given as 5b-7. Find an expressions for the area of the tria

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7)

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7) = 24

b * (5b - 7) = 24

5b^2 - 7b = 24

5b^2 - 7b - 24= 0

(b- 3 )(5b + 8) = 0

b = 3 This the only solution that works. b can't be minus

The base is 2b or 2 * 3 = 6
