What is the solution of -2x = -16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
7 0
Divide both sides by -2

two negatives make a positive and that's true so x = 16/2 so divide it

x = 8 because 2 x 8 = 16 and 2/16 = 8 so true.

Answer: x = 8.

Albert wants to show that tan(theta)sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta). He writes the following proof:
Nataly_w [17]
We have that
<span>tan(theta)sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta)
</span><span>[sin(theta)/cos(theta)] sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta)
</span>[sin²<span>(theta)/cos(theta)]+cos(theta)=sec(theta)

</span><span>the next step in this proof
is </span>write cos(theta)=cos²<span>(theta)/cos(theta) to find a common denominator
so

</span>[sin²(theta)/cos(theta)]+[cos²(theta)/cos(theta)]=sec(theta)<span>

</span>{[sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)]/cos(theta)}=sec(theta)<span>

remember that 
</span>sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)=1
{[sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)]/cos(theta)}------------> 1/cos(theta)
and 
1/cos(theta)=sec(theta)-------------> is ok

the answer is the option <span>B.)
He should write cos(theta)=cos^2(theta)/cos(theta) to find a common denominator.</span>
