2(10 + -13x) = -34x + 60
(10 * 2 + -13x * 2) = -34x + 60
(20 + -26x) = -34x + 60
Reorder the terms:
20 + -26x = 60 + -34x
Solving
20 + -26x = 60 + -34x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '34x' to each side of the equation.
20 + -26x + 34x = 60 + -34x + 34x
Combine like terms: -26x + 34x = 8x
20 + 8x = 60 + -34x + 34x
Combine like terms: -34x + 34x = 0
20 + 8x = 60 + 0
20 + 8x = 60
Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + 8x = 60 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 8x = 60 + -20
8x = 60 + -20
Combine like terms: 60 + -20 = 40
8x = 40
Divide each side by '8'.

ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:
b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.
Answer:
<h3>11.8 feet</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Length of the ladder = 12foot
angle of elevation = 80 degrees
Required
Height of the wall (opposite side)
The set up will form a right angled triangle where
length of the ladder is the hypotenuse
height of the wall is opposite;
Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity
According to SOH
sin 80 = opp/hyp
sin80 = opp/12
opp = 12sin80
opp = 11.82 feet
Hence the height of the wall is 11.8feet (to the nearest tenth)
Answer:
243.01.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term (a) = 324.
The common ratio (r) = -108/324 = -1/3.
So sum of 9 terms is:
S(9) = 324 * (1 - (-1/3)^9) / ( 1 - (-1/3)
= 324 ( 1 - (-0.00005076)) / 4/3
= 324 * 1.00005076 / 1.33333
= 243.012.
First distribute the -3 and the - sign
6x + 24 + 5x - 6
Combine like terms
11x + 18
