Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(5 x)/4 = x/2 - 3
Put each term in x/2 - 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 - 3 = x/2 - 6/2:
(5 x)/4 = x/2 - 6/2
x/2 - 6/2 = (x - 6)/2:
(5 x)/4 = (x - 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 4:
(4×5 x)/4 = (4 (x - 6))/2
(4×5 x)/4 = 4/4×5 x = 5 x:
5 x = (4 (x - 6))/2
4/2 = (2×2)/2 = 2:
5 x = 2 (x - 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
5 x = 2 x - 12
Subtract 2 x from both sides:
5 x - 2 x = (2 x - 2 x) - 12
5 x - 2 x = 3 x:
3 x = (2 x - 2 x) - 12
2 x - 2 x = 0:
3 x = -12
Divide both sides of 3 x = -12 by 3:
(3 x)/3 = (-12)/3
3/3 = 1:
x = (-12)/3
The gcd of -12 and 3 is 3, so (-12)/3 = (3 (-4))/(3×1) = 3/3×-4 = -4:
Answer: x = -4
Answer:
0.98
Step-by-step explanation:
Work Shown:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.13 + 0.85 - 0
P(A or B) = 0.98
Note that P(A and B) is 0. This is because we are told A and B are mutually exclusive events. This means both events cannot happen simultaneously. An example would be flipping a coin to have it land on heads and tails at the same time.
We need to find a tree such that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.
The length of the shadow is the adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side. Let it be x.
Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent
tan(40) = x/35
x = 35*tan(40) = 29.37
Answer: Height of the tree is 29 feet
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
add 7 to 3x
Then: 4x-3x=1x which gives:
1x=7
7/1=7
Answer:
$19.50
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set up a simple equation where t-shirts are represented by t and cost by c.
$78=4t.
To solve this equation, you want to get the variable isolated. To do this divide four on both sides since the t is multiplied by 4 and to undo multiplication, you divide. So you divide 4t by four, which gets you 1t, and then you divide 78 by 4 (because whatever you do to one side you have to do it to the other) which gives you 19.5. So the remaining equation is
$19.50=1t
And since t represents t-shirts, the equation is saying that $19.50 is equal to one t-shirt.
