Answer:
15x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the 5 to the 3x ( 5 times 3x=15x)
Next you distribute the 5 to the 1 (5 times 1=5)
Finally you put the two answers together 15x+1
you cant simplify it anymore because you cannot add 15x to 1
Answer:
x=40
Step-by-step explanation:
first you simplify both sides of the equation, then you isolate the variable
40/4= 10
10 times 3/2 = 15
We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse
x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x
x^2+36=100 Square each individual term
x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides
x^2=64 Combine like terms
sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides
x = 8 Simplify the square root
So our answer is x = 8
