Answer:

x = (y - b)/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First subtract b from both sides:

y = mx + b

y (-b) = mx + b (-b)

y - b = mx

Next, divide m from both sides:

(y - b)/m = (mx)/m

x = (y - b)/m

x = (y - b)/m is your answer.

2sin^(-2490)+tan 1410

givi [52]

2sin²(-2490)+tan 1410=2sin²(-330-6*360)+tan (330+3*360)=
=2sin²(-330)+tan (330)=2 sin²(30-1*360)+tan (-30)=
=2sin²(30)-tan (30)=2(1/2)²-√3/3=1/2-√3/3)=(3-2√3)/6

Answer: 2 sin²(-2490)+tan (1410)=(3-2√3)/6 (≈-0.07735...)

trapecia [35]

Answer:

$\boxed {-243}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rclr}(-3)^{-5} & = & \dfrac{1}{x}& &\\(-3)^{5} & = & x &\text{Inverted each side of the equation}\\x & = & \boxed {\textbf{{-243}}}\\\end{array}$

What is the answer and how do I solve it?

vichka [17]

The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:

7 x
--- = ---
12 5

Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
