ANSWER: x = 1

1. Distribute the 4 into (2x-1). 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4.
2. Add the like terms. 5x + 2 = 11x - 4.
3. Subtract 5x on both sides. 2 = 6x - 4.
4. Add 4 on both sides. 6 = 6x
5. Divide 6 on both sides. x = 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

5x+2=3x+4(2x-1)

Distribute the 4 into (2x-1):

5x+2=3x+8x-4

Combine like terms:

5x+2=11x-4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

5x+6=11x

Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation:

6=6x

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 6:

1=x

or

x=1

For lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the SAME.

For lines to be perpendicular, the slopes have to be the exact opposite. (opposite sign and number)

For example(perpendicular):

slope is 2

the perpendicular slope is -1/2

slope is -4/5

the perpendicular slope is 5/4


12. line a and b are perpendicular


13. Line a: y = 3/5x + 1

Line b: y = 3/5x - 2/5

Line c: y = 4/6 + 5/3x

line a and b are parallel


14. Line a: y = 3x + 6

Line b: y = 6 - 3x

Line c: y = 2/3x + 6

Neither, none of them are parallel or perpendicular


15. Line a: y = -2/3 + 4/3x

Line b: y = -1/4 - 3/4x

Line c: y = 5 + 3/4x

line a and b are perpendicular

The plans for a shed call for a rectangular floor with a perimeter of 204 ft. The length is two times the width. Find the length
Harlamova29_29 [7]
A-length
b-width
perimeter of rectangular floor: 2a+2b=204
<span>The length is two times the width: a=2b
</span>2a + 2b = 204
2*2b + 2b = 204
6b = 204|:6
b = 34
a=2b=2*34=68

a=68->length
b=34->width

The expression sin 50 cos 40 + cos 50 sin 40 is equivalent to
enyata [817]
Sin (a+b) = sin a. cos b + cos a. sin b

a= 50° and b=40°, then

sin(50+40) = sin 50° . cos 40° + cos 50° . sin 40°

sin(50+40) = sin 90° = 1 and

sin 50° . cos 40° + cos 50° . sin 40° = 1
