Angle A should be equal to 47
Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
Answer:
18x^2-23x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply: 9x*2x-9x*3+2*2x-2*3
18x^2-9X(3)3+2(2X)-2(3)
18X^2-27x+4x-6
18x^2-23x-6
Simplify the equation.
First, distribute the 2 in the left side of the equation.
Resulting in: 2x-6 = (x-1) + 7
Second, remove the parentheses form the right side of the equation (there is nothing to distribute there).
Resulting in: x - 1 + 7
Now simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting the 1 from the 7.
Resulting in: x + 6
Our goal is to isolate the x to the left side, and the numerals to the right side.
With that in mind, add the 6 (from the right side) to both sides. This cancels out the 6 on the right side.
Resulting in: 2x = 12
Lastly, in order to fully isolate the variable (x), we divide both sides by 2.
Resulting in: x = 6
Hope this helps.
