5(x-1)+3=7(x+1) What is the solution?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -4.5


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute.

5x - 5 + 3 = 7x + 7

2. Combine like terms:

5x - 2 = 7x + 7

3. Subtract 5x from both sides.

-2 = 2x + 7.

4. Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x = -9.

5. Divide all sides by 2.

x = -4.5

Expand

5x - 5 + 3 = 7x + 7

Simplify 5x - 5 + 3 to 5x - 2

5x - 2 = 7x + 7

Subtract 5x from both sides

-2 = 7x + 7 - 5x

Simplify 7x + 7 - 5x to 2x + 7

-2 = 2x + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides

-2 - 7 = 2x

Simplify -2 - 7 to -9

-9 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

-9/2 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -9/2</u>

If f(x) = 3LX-2], what is f(5.9)? 9 10 11 12​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the ceiling function y = [x] is also known as the least integer function that gives the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.

For example : For x= 1.5

y = [1.5] =2

For x= 3.64

y = ⌊3.64⌋=4

The given function :

Then, for x= 5.9 , we have

[since [3.9]=4 (least integer function)]

Therefore, the value of f(5.9) is 12

Dmitry [639]
  • Base be y

ATQ

\\ \sf\longmapsto xy=6050\dots 1

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(x+y)=220\implies x+y=110\dots 2

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy

\\ \sf\longmapsto 110^2-2(6050)=x^2+y^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 12100-12100=x^2+y^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+y^2=0\dots(3)

From all equations

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=x^2+y^2-2xy

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=0-2(6050)

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)^2=-12100

\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-y)=110\dots(4)

Now

Adding 3 and 4

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=220

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=110m

One side won't be covered hence

  • y=2(110)=220m

A 29 ft long rope is tied to the top of a flag pole. The rope is staked to the ground 21 ft away from the base of the pole. How
german

Answer: option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rope, the flagpole and the ground would form a right angle triangle. The length of the rope represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The vertical height of the flagpole represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance from the point where the rope is staked to the ground to the base of the pole represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height if the flagpole h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

29² = 21² + h²

841 = 441 + h²

h² = 841 - 441 = 400

h = √400 = 20 ft
