First step you should do is s<span>implify both sides of your equation:
</span>29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
<span>Combine Like Terms:
</span>(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
<span>Subtract 6x from both sides:
</span>-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
<span>Subtract 21 from both sides:
</span>-7x+21-21=-7-21
-7x=-28
<span>Divide both sides by -7:
</span>-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4

A motor vehicle has a maximum efficiency of 39 mpg at a cruising speed of 40 mph. The efficiency drops at a rate of 0.1 mpg/mph

svp [43]

Answer:

38 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial efficiency = 39 mpg

Initial speed = 40 mph

Final speed = 50 mph

The efficiency drop between 40 mph and 50 mph is given by:

$E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*\Delta V$

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

$E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*(50-40)mph\\E_d = 1\ mpg$

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

$E_{50} = E_{40} -E_d\\E_{50} = 39 -1\\E_{50} = 38\ mpg$

A zoo has 2 male lions one sixth oh the lions are male lions how many lions are there at the zoo ?

Deffense [45]

I'm guessing there are 12 lions since half of twelve is 6 and there is only 2 male lions. I would put down 12. Hope that helps!

Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $B$. Legs $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CB}$ are extended past point $B$ to points $D$ and

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Given :

ABC is a right triangle in which ∠ABC = 90°,

Also, Legs AB and CB are extended past point B to points D and E,

Such that,

$\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^{\circ}$

To prove :

$EB\times BD=AB\times BC$

Proof :

In triangles AEC and EBA,

∠EAC= ∠ABE ( right angles )

∠CEA = ∠AEB ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

$\triangle AEC \sim \triangle EBA$ ,

Similarly,

$\triangle AEC \sim \triangle ABC$

$\implies\triangle EBA\sim \triangle ABC-----(1)$

Now, In triangles ADC and CBD,

∠ACD = ∠CBD ( right angles )

∠ADC= ∠BDC ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

$\triangle ADC \sim \triangle CBD$ ,

Similarly,

$\triangle ADC \sim \triangle ABC$

$\implies \triangle CBD\sim \triangle ABC-----(2)$

From equations (1) and (2),

$\triangle EBA\sim \triangle CBD$

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

$\frac{EB}{BC}=\frac{AB}{BD}$

$\implies EB\times BD=AB\times BC$

Hence, proved....
