Answer:

The 3 steps you can use are as highlighted below, and the value of x is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Step 1: We expand first by opening the brackets

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

4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15

Step 2: we collect like terms on either side

4x +3x - 10x = -15 - 6

-3x = -21

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3

x = -21/-3

x = 7

Find the measure of DC if m
kupik [55]

Answer:

  • B. 132°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find the measure of arc BD</u>

  • m∠A = 1/2(arc BC - arc BD)
  • 2*36° = 150° - arc BD
  • arc BD = 150° - 72° = 78°

<u>Find the measure of arc DC</u>

  • arc BD + arc BC + arc DC = 360°
  • arc DC = 360° - (150° + 78°) = 360° - 228° = 132°

Correct choice is B

Courtney is twice as old as Andre and three years older than Natalie. Courtney is half Shari's age. The difference between Shari
lesantik [10]

The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.

Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:

C = 2A

C = N + 3

C = S/2

S - N = C + A

S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have

2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2

C + 3 = C + C/2

C/2 = 3 and C = 6

A = C/2

A= 6/2

A = 3

N = C - 3

N = 6 - 3

N = 3

S = 2C

S = 2 x 6

S = 12.

C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12

How do I evaluate 8^7 / 8^7?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The final result is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the following:

\frac{x^{m}}{x^{n}} = x^{m-n} \\

And that x^0= 1

We have: 8^7 / 8^7= 8 ^ (7-7)=8^0=1
