5x-(x+1)=5-2xaolve each equation ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago

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

Using the slope concept, it is found that the distance from point A to point B is of 465 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

To find the horizontal position at point A, we have that:

tan(10º) = 107/dA

dA = 107/tan(10º)

dA = 607.

For the horizontal position at point B, we have that:

tan(37º) = 107/dB

dB = 107/tan(37º)

dB = 142.

Hence the distance is given by:

D = dA - dB = 607 - 142 = 465.

Would you please help me? Thanks.

The best answer is D.

According to the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

The diagram given gives the length of both legs, so plug it into the equation to get c^2= 24^2+45^2
