Answer:

x = 80/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x+38) + (2x-18)=180

Combine like terms

6x +20 = 180

Subtract 20 from each side

6x+20 -20 = 180-20

6x = 160

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 160/6

x = 80/3

Thank you kind sir

The purpose of life is to learn and pass on what you have learned. We all started out a cell. That cell then became two. All throughout time people have learned and passed on their knowledge. There is no real purpose to life except to learn and then pass on. From birth to death we learn and pass it on and in years, later on, we will know more and more. Never stopping this cycle. Until we know too much and the world ends from the power and fighting of the powers of human exists.

Prove that: (b²-c²/a)CosA+(c²-a²/b)CosB+(a²-b²/c)CosC = 0

IRISSAK [1]

Prove that:

$\:\:\sf\:\:\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C=0$

Proof: 

We know that, by Law of Cosines,

$\sf \cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$
$\sf \cos B=\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}$
$\sf \cos C=\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$

Taking LHS

$\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C$

Substituting the value of cos A, cos B and cos C,

$\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\left(\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\left(\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}\right)+\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\left(\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)$

$\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2-a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2-b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2-c^2)}{2abc}\right)$

$\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2)-(b^2-c^2)(a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2)-(c^2-a^2)(b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2)-(a^2-b^2)(c^2)}{2abc}\right)$

$\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^4-c^4)-(a^2b^2-a^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^4-a^4)-(b^2c^2-a^2b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^4-b^4)-(a^2c^2-b^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)$
