Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out the area of the sidewalk, multiply the length by the width of the sidewalk
The width of the sidewalk is equal to
or
The area is equal to
Answer:
x=4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using sohcahtoa we know tangent is equal to (length of side opposite to the angle ) / (lenth of side adjacent to the angle)
therefore: tan (theta) = (x-3) / (x) = 1 / 3
now cross multiply
3(x-3) = x
now solve for x
3x - 9 = x
-9= -2x
x= 4.5
