Answer:
$40
Step-by-step explanation:
Trent contributes 5/(5+2) = 5/7 of the amount in his account. For an amount of $56, he must contribute ...
(5/7)×$56 = $40
Trent will have to put $40 into the account before he can buy a $56 skateboard.
Just put these values in the place of x and solve!
The answer is 2 btw
Hey there!!
In order to solve this equation, we will have to use the distributive property.
What is distributive property?
We will need to distribute one term to the other terms preset.
Example : 4 ( 3x - 1 )
sing distributive property, we will have to distribute the term outside the parenthesis to the terms inside. In this case, we will have to distribute 4 to 3x and -1
( 4 × 3x ) + ( 4 × -1 )
12x + ( -4 )
= 12x - 4
This is after implementing the distributive property.
Now moving back onto the question
4 ( x + 5 ) = 3 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 )
Let us first solve 4 ( x + 5 )
Distribute 4 to x and 5
( 4 × x ) + ( 4 × 5 )
4x + 20
Now let's solve 3 ( x - 2 )
Distribute 3 to x and -2
( 3 × x ) + ( 3 × - 2 )
3x - 6
Solve for -2 ( x + 2 )
Distribute -2 to x and 2
( -2 × x ) + ( -2 × 2 )
-2x - 4
Now, let's get everything back together
4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4
Combine all the like terms
4x + 20 = x - 10
Adding 10 on both sides
4x + 20 + 10 = x - 10 + 10
4x + 30 = x
Subtracting 4x on both sides
4x - 4x + 30 = x - 4x
30 = -3x
Dividing by -3 on both sides
30 / -3 = -3x / -3
- 10 = x
<h2>x = - 10 </h2><h3>Hope my answer helps!</h3>
First find the length of leg BC by using the Pythagorean theorem BC=132+52=12 ft if we find the midpoint of BC which is 6 ft we find where the angle bisector would touch the BC. From there we construct another triangle ANC where AC is equal to 5 ft and NC is equal to 6 ft where we can again use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse which is the angle bisector AN=Angle Bisector=62+52<span>=7.8102 ft.</span>
