Answer: x = 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Reorder the terms:
3x = -9 + 5x
2) Solving
3x = -9 + 5x
3) Solving for variable 'x'.
4) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
5) Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
3x + -5x = -9 + 5x + -5x
6) Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-2x = -9 + 5x + -5x
7) Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-2x = -9 + 0
-2x = -9
8) Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 4.5
9) Simplifying
x = 4.5
Answer:
18° and 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Complimentary angles form 90°
We have an angle (x) 4 times larger than the other (y).
Well actually, a system of equations isn't required, so forget about x and y, just divide 90 by 5. This gives you 18, one of the angle's measurements is 18°. Multiply 18 by 4 and get 72. The other angle's measurement is 72°.
Answer:
Two terms
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to simplify reducing the number of terms, since there are like terms
x-5+16x+4-2x-3
Eventually, you'll get 15x-4, thus there are two terms.
Please correct me if I'm incorrect, and I'll change the answer, but I hope I helped :)
Answer:
w =-4
Step-by-step explanation:
4w = 2w - 8
Subtract 2w from each side
4w-2w = 2w-2w - 8
2w = -8
Divide by 2
2w/2 = -8/2
w = -4
