3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
x = 6
If it is right triangle use pythagorean
The two friends will be 150 miles apart, when the sum of the distances covered by the them is 150 miles.
distance = speed x time.
Let the time covered when they are 150 miles apart be x, then:
40x + 35x = 150
75x = 150
x = 150/75 = 2.
Therefore, the two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours.
Answer:
<h2>x = 20</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 7x° and (x + 20)° are supplementary angles.
Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
7x + (x + 20) = 180
7x + x + 20 = 180 <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>
8x = 160 <em>divide both sides by 8</em>
x = 20
Answer:
x = - 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x² + 24x = 4 ( divide through by 4 )
x² + 6x = 1
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 1 + 9
(x + 3)² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
