Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(3x−1)=−6x−2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x−1)=−6x−2

(2)(3x)+(2)(−1)=−6x+−2(Distribute)

6x+−2=−6x+−2

6x−2=−6x−2

Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.

6x−2+6x=−6x−2+6x

12x−2=−2

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

12x−2+2=−2+2

12x=0

Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.

12x/12= 0/12

x=0

Answer:

x=0

HOPE THIS HELPS!!! :)

Anyone know how to do trigonometry

<span>The side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 =>

a^2 + (c/2)^2 = c^2
12^2 + c^2/4 = c^2
4*12^2 + c^2 - 4c^2 = 0
576 - 3c^2 = 0
- 3c^2 = - 576
c^2 = 192
c = 8√3

The temperature, H, in °F, of a cup of coffee t hours after it is set out to cool is given by the following equation. H = 70 + 1

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The temperature a t = 0 is 190 °F

The temperature a t = 1 is 100 °F

The temperature a t = 2 is 77.5 °F

It takes 1.5 hours to take the coffee to cool down to 85°F

It takes 2.293 hours to take the coffee to cool down to 75°F

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the temperature in °F, of a cup of coffee t hours after it is set out to cool is given by the following equation:

$H(t)=70+120(\frac{1}{4})^t$

a) To find the temperature a t = 0 you need to replace the time in the equation:

$H(0)=70+120(\frac{1}{4})^0\\H(0)=70+120\cdot 1\\H(0) = 70+120\\H(0)=190 \:\°F$

b) To find the temperature after 1 hour you need to:

$H(1)=70+120(\frac{1}{4})^1\\H(1)=70+120(\frac{1}{4})\\H(1) = 70+30\\H(1)=100 \:\°F$

c) To find the temperature after 2 hours you need to:

$H(2)=70+120(\frac{1}{4})^2\\H(2)=70+120(\frac{1}{16})\\H(2) = 70+\frac{15}{2} \\H(2)=77.5 \:\°F$

d) To find the time to take the coffee to cool down $85 \:\°F$ , you need to:

$85 = 70+120(\frac{1}{4})^t\\70+120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=85\\70+120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t-70=85-70\\120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=15\\\frac{120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t}{120}=\frac{15}{120}\\\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=\frac{1}{8}$

$\mathrm{If\:}f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)\mathrm{,\:then\:}\ln \left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\ln \left(g\left(x\right)\right)$

$\ln \left(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}=\log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)$

$t\ln \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$

$t=\frac{\ln \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}{\ln \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)}\\t=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \:hours$

e) To find the time to take the coffee to cool down $75 \:\°F$ , you need to:

$75=70+120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t\\70+120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=75\\70+120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t-70=75-70\\120\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=5\\\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t=\frac{1}{24}$

$\ln \left(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^t\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{24}\right)\\t\ln \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{24}\right)\\t=\frac{\ln \left(24\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)} \approx = 2.293 \:hours$

Three numbers between 4.1 and 4.2

rosijanka [135]

The previous answer that the person gave you is incorrect as 4.50 and 4.75 are not between 4.1 and 4.2....they are greater.

3 numbers between 4.1 and 4.2 are:
4.12, 4.14, and 4.19

All of these #'s are not less then 4.1 and also not greater then 4.2...they are between the 2 numbers
