♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡      

・3 (x + 4) = x - 8 - 2x

3 (x + 4) = x - 2x - 8

3 (x + 4) = -x - 8

3 (x + 4): 3x + 12

Apply the distributive law! : a(b + c) = ab + ac

a = 3, b = x, c = 4

= 3x + 3 x 4

Multiply: 3 x 4 = 12

= 3x + 12

3x + 12 = -x - 8

Subtract 12 from both sides!

3x + 12 - 12 = -x - 8 - 12

Simplify!

3x = -x - 20

Add x to both sides!

3x + x = -x - 20 + x

Simplify!

4x/4 = -20/4

Simplify 4x/4 : x

Divide the numbers!

4/4 = 1 = x

Simplify!

-20/4 : -5

-20/4

Apply the fraction rule! : -a/b = -a/b

= -20/4

Divide the numbers!

20/4 = 5

= -5

x = -5

A hiker travels 45 degrees north of east for 30 km. What is his NORTH (or y) displacement component? Round your answer and inclu
miv72 [106K]

consider X-axis along the east-west direction and north-south direction along Y-axis

A = magnitude of distance traveled by hiker in north-east direction = 30 kilometer

θ = angle of direction of displacement of the hiker relative to x-axis or east direction = 45 degree counterclockwise

A' = component of distance traveled by the hiker along the east direction.

Since the angle is given with the x-axis, the Sin provides the component in Y-direction. hence

Using the equation

A' = A Sinθ

Inserting the values

A' = (30) Sin45

A' = 21.2 km

I theater sells tickets for a concert. Tickets for lower-level seats sell for $35 each and tickets for upper-level seats sell fo
lora16 [44]

Let X= the number of tickets sold at $35 each

Let 350 -X = the number of tickets sold at $25 each

The number of tickets sold for each type will be computed as follows:

X(35)+(350-X)25=10250

35X+8750-25X=10250

10X=10250-8750

X=1500/10

X=150 the number of tickets sold at $35 each

350-150 the number of tickets sold at $25 each

To recheck:

150(35)+200(25)

5250+5000

10250
