Answer:x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the positive solution for this, then we will say;

Let the number be x

3x<x^2-54

x^2-3x-54<0

Then we are going to factorise

x^2-9x+6x-54=0

(x^2-9x)+(6x-54)=0

x(x-9)+6(x-9)=0

(x+6)(x-9)=0

Therefore, The positive solution for this is: x=9

First you add 2+3 and get 5
Next, since the 5 is now in the parentheses, it indicates that you have to multiply
Finally, 5 times 4=20

Ms. Lynch has 21 coins in nickels and dimes.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:So we know x + y = 21 and 5x +10y = 165 We line them up in columns    x +   y =   21  5x +10y = 165 To eliminate the x variable, I'll multiply every element in the 1st equation by -5. -5x + -5y = -105  5x + 10y =  165 Now we combine (add) the equations, which eliminates x altogether.  5y = 60   ...   y = 12 From there, x + 12 = 21  ...  x = 21-12  ...  x = 9 You should double check.  Do 9 nickles and 12 dimes equal $1.65? A very important thing to remember using this method is to do the same thing to each element in the equation that you change! I hope that helps.

Please help me . Find x.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

12) 5.96 ; 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

12). x and 5 are legs, so

opposite leg/adjacent leg = tangent 40°

5/x= tan40°,    5= x*tan40°, x= 5/tan40° ≈ 5.96

13). 15 is opposite leg

24 is hypotenuse

opposite leg/hypotenuse = sin(x)

sin(x) = 15/24

x = arcsin(15/24) ≈ 38.68°

What substitution Should be used to re-write 26(x^3+1)^2-22(x^3+1)-3=0 as a quadratic function?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x^3+1

Step-by-step explanation:

26(x^3+1)^2-22(x^3+1)-3=0

Comparing to

A(u)^2+B(u)+C =0

Where A,B,C are constants

You should see that we need to substitute the x^3+1 with u.
