X= 2
First you would multiple 2 with what’s in the parentheses so

6x-14= -3x+4

And then you have to get the x on the same side so you’d have to add 3x to the other side

9x-14=4

And you want to get the x alone so you’d add 14 to the other side

9x=18

And then you divide both sides by 9

X=2

6x+3x = 14+4

9x= 18

x=18/9

For sin2x+cosx=0, use a double-angle or half-angle formula to simplify the equation and then find all solutions of the equation

Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a trignometric equation in x, as

$sin2x+cosx=0$

TO make it in one trig ratio, we can replace sin2x as 2sinx cosx

WE get now

$2sinxcosx+cosx=0\\$

$cosx(2sinx+1)=0\\cosx=0, sinx =-0.5\\$

Principal solution is $x=\frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{-\pi}{6}$

x = ±π/2 + 2kπ, where k is any integer or

x=±pi/6 +k pi, where k is any integer.

General solution is

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = $\frac{x}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = $\frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\$

= $\frac{x}{3}$

this is also the same thing as saying $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{x}{1}$

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as $\frac{1}{3}$ the size of the original group

A new novel is selling for $17.95. If it is on sale at 40% off, find the amount of discount and the sale price.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply $17.95 by 40% to get the discount ($17.95 x .4), which equals $7.18.

the sale price is the initial price of the book less the discount ($17.95-$7.18), which equals $10.77.

If there are 16oz in a pound how many oz are in 10 pounds

liq [111]

160oz. This is because, knowing that there are 16oz in one pound, you can multiply 16 by how many pounds you have to get the oz measurement. In this problem, we multiplied 16 by 10, getting 160oz.
