5x-(x+1)=5-2xaolve each equation ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a "-" (minus) sign in front of parenthesis, we distribute the sign inside. Let's do this with "-(x+1)". So we will have:

5x-(x+1)=5-2x\\5x-x-1=5-2x

Now, we follow rules of algebra. We take variables to one side and numbers to another side (remember to change signs with changing sides). Shown below:

5x-x-1=5-2x\\5x-x+2x=5+1

Now, we add like terms in left side. Such as:

ax + bx = (a+b)x

Thus, we have:

5x-x+2x=5+1\\6x=5+1

Now, we add right side and divide and get a value for x:

6x=5+1\\6x=6\\x=\frac{6}{6}\\x=1

The value of x is 1

The quotient of 9.2 x 10 6 and 2.3 x 10 2 expressed in scientific notation is
Virty [35]
What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10

What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6        
--------------  =    4 x 10^4    
 2.3 x 10²

Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.


Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.

9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230

920000/230=40000

40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation

Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.

What is the GCF of two prime Numbers ??Give an example.
Dima020 [189]
Since prime numbers only have two factors (itself and 1) then it would have to be the same number. So it would be the number besides one. Ex. Prime number: 7, the GCF would be 7 if it was compared with itself.

You purchase a car using a $20,000 loan with a 5% simple interest rate.
hammer [34]
Simple interest = Cost Price + (Interest Percentage of Cost Price × number of years or months we are paying off)

a) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + £4000 = £24 000

b) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + £3000 = £23 000

£24 000 - £23 000 = £1000 that you saved!

The set A = {1, 3, 5}. What is a larger set this might be a subset of?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A larger set that a particular set can be a subset of is a Universal set. A universal set is parent where all other sets are derived from.

For example, given a universal set U = {1,2,3,4,5}, a set A = {1, 3, 5} is said to be a subset of the set U because the elements of set B are contained in the Universal set U.

Also, sets like {1, 4,5} and {3,4,5} can also be regarded as the subset of U since all the elements of the sets can be found in the Universal set U. Hence the correct name of the set is a UNIVERSAL SET
