Answer: x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd first deal with the 4 outside the parentheses, multiplying 10x-20 by 4. This would result in 40x - 80 = 200.

You'd then further isolate x, adding 80 on both sides, resulting in 40x = 2080. Divide by 40 on both sides and You'd get your answer of x = 52.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB. Putting the values in. sin(A+B)=(4/5)(−3/5)+(3/5)(−4/5). sin(A+B)=−24/25.

What is the solution set of x2 + 5x + 1 = 0?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\left\{-\dfrac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2};\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}\right\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+5x+1=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula:}\\\\\text{For}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{if}\ \Delta < 0,\ \text{then the equation has no real solution}\\\text{if}\ \Delta=0,\ \text{then the equation has one real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\text{if}\ \Delta>0,\ \text{then the equation has two real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
