To do linear equations, basically, just imagine it with an equals sign. It is pretty much the same as normal algebra, so it's not too confusing.
An example of a linear equation is 3x - 7 = 11
with this, your objective is to get 'x' on its own and to do this, do inverse operations (the opposite to what is actually done)
For instance, to get '3x' on its own, you must add 7.
So do this for both sides to give you
3x = 18
Yeah?
Now you must get 'x' on its own. It currently has 3 x's at the moment, so you must divide it by 3 to give you one 'x'. A rule with these - what you do to one side you must do to the other.
So this means that if you divide 3x by 3, you must divide 18 by 3.
This leaves you with x = 6.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve the equation:
To do so, we can rewrite the equation.
Recall the double-angle for sine:
By substitution:
Distribute:
We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:
And factor:
Hence, our answer is A.
*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
Answer:
Claim is true that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :In a study of 799 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 499 of them were dropped or dismissed.
To Find : Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Solution:
n = 799
x = 499
We will use one sample proportion test
We are given that the claim is most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Probability of dropped or dismissed is 1/2
Formula of test statistic = 
=
= 7.038
p value (z>7.038) is 0
α =0.05
So, p value < α
So, we reject the null hypothesis
So,claim is true
Hence most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Answer: Area = 6m²
Smaller number = 16
Hours = 9.6 h
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.
1) w = x m 2) w = x + 1 m
l = x + 5 m l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m
A₁ = A₂
A = w*l
A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x
A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2
A₁ = A₂
x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2
5x - 3x = 2
2x = 2
x = 1
A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²
The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.
<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>
5 40
5x = 80
x = 80/5 = 16
Sixteen construction workers can finish cementing a floor of a building in 3 hours. On a certain day, only 5 construction workers are available for the job. How long will it take the 5 construction workers to do the cementing job?
workers hours
16 3
5 x
↑ ↓ inversely proportional
<u> 5 </u> = <u> 3 </u>
16 x
5x = 16*3
5x = 48
x = 48/5
x = 9.6 h
