Answer:

x=-113

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

(2)(3x)+(2)(4)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−1)=x+−1x(Distribute)

6x+8+−3x+3=x+−x

(6x+−3x)+(8+3)=(x+−x)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+11=0

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.

3x+11−11=0−11

3x=−11

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x3=−113

x=−113

x=−113

Mekala has an MP3 player called the Jumble. The Jumble randomly selects a song for the user to listen to. Mekala's Jumble has 4

sammy [17]

Answer:

Mekala Jumble has 4 techno songs, 2 country songs, and3 jazz songs on it.

Ratio of techno songs,to country songs,to jazz songs= 4: 2 : 3

Whatever be total number of songs, let the number of techno songs, country songs,and jazz songs be 4 x, 2 x, and 3 x.

Total number of songs that Mekala plans to Listen = 2 70

Then , 4 x + 2 x + 3 x= 270

9 x = 270

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

x = 30

So, Number of techno songs = 4 × 30= 120

Number of techno songs = 2 × 30= 60

Number of jazz songs = 3 × 30= 90

Option (b) b) Close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs ,is true option regarding number of songs listen by Mekala.

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotenuse is 10 inches long and the two legs are equal in length. Ho

vagabundo [1.1K]

This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2 Hope this helps!!
