If b=-2 then -2x+-2 =-12 making x equal 5 ,5 times -2 equals -10 plus negative 2 equals -12

Answer: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that you are using the variable "y" in the space (meaning I took your equation to be -2x+y=-12), you used the value of -2. This gives you -2x-2=-12. Wait! We can add -2 to both sides, which gives us -2x=-10. We can then divide -2 from both sides, which makes x stand alone, and the other side to be 5. Therefore x=5.

Remember that I am writing this solution assuming that you are using the variable "y" in the blank space with a co-efficient of 1.

I hope this helps. If my understanding is wrong, then comment below and I will give you the correct answer in no time :)

Manuel has a boat that can move at a speed of 15 km/h in still water. He rides 140 km downstream in a river in the same time it
Anika [276]

Answer: the speed of the river is 9km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the river current.

He rides 140 km downstream in a river in the same time it takes to ride 35km upstream. This means that his speed was higher when riding downstream and it was lower when riding upstream.

Assuming he rode in the direction of the river current when coming downstream and rode against the current when going upstream.

time = distance/speed

Manuel has a boat that can move at a speed of 15 km/h

His downstream speed would be

15 + x

time spent coming downstream would be

140/(15 + x)

His downstream speed would be

15 - x

time spent going downstream would be

35/(15 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

140/(15 + x) = 35/(15 - x)

Crossmultiplying

140(15 - x) = 35(15 + x)

2100 - 140x = 525 + 35x

140x + 35x = 2100 - 525

175x = 1575

x = 1575/175

x = 9

Determine the remaining sides and angles of the triangle ABC
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The measure of angle B is 41.5°

The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>The sum of the measures of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°</em>

In the given Δ ABC

∵ m∠A = 38.1°

∵ m∠C = 100.4°

→ By using the fact above

∵ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 38.1 + m∠B + 100.4 = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 138.5 + m∠B = 180

→ Subtract 138.5 from both sides

∴ m∠B = 41.5°

∴ The measure of angle B is 41.5°

∵ a is the opposite side of ∠A

∵ b is the opposite side of ∠B

∵ c is the opposite side of ∠C

→ By using the sine rule

∴ \frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

∵ c = 48.4 ft, m∠A = 38.1°, m∠B = 41.5°, and m∠C = 100.4

→ Substitute them in the sine rule above

∴ \frac{a}{sin38.1} = \frac{b}{sin41.5} = \frac{48.4}{sin100.4}

→ By using cross multiplication between the 1st and the 3rd fractions

∴ a × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 38.1

→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4

∴ a = 30.61429861

∴ The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

→ By using cross multiplication between the 2nd and the 3rd fractions

∴ b × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 41.5

→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4

∴ b = 32.87596206

∴ The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

Can someone explain thoroughly how I am meant to solve this?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

I got x<equal to -11 or x>equal to4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+15x+44=0

(x+4)(x+11)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+4=0 or x+11=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−4 or x=−11

Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)

x<−11(Works in original inequality)

−11<x<−4(Doesn't work in original inequality)

x>−4(Works in original inequality)

Answer:

x<−11 or x>−4
