Solve 3x + 5 ⩾ x + 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 5 = x + 17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = x + 17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 17 + x

Solving

5 + 3x = 17 + x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 3x + -1x = 17 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x

5 + 2x = 17 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0

5 + 2x = 17 + 0

5 + 2x = 17

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 2x = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 2x = 17 + -5

2x = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 17 + -5 = 12

2x = 12

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6

A 6 foot tall football player casts a 16 inch shadow at the same time stadium we discussed at six for shadow how tall the bleach
katrin [286]
You need to use a ratio of height (H) to shadow length (L) to solve the first problem. It's basically a use of similar triangles, with two perpendicular sides, and with the shadow making the same angle with the vertical.

6 ft = 72 ins, so that rH/L = 72/16 = 9/2 for the player.

So the bleachers are 9/2 x 6 ft = 27 ft.

For the second problem, 9 ft = 108 in, so that the ratio of the actual linear dimensions to the plan's linear dimensions are 9ft/(1/2in) = 2 x 108 = 216.

So the stage will have dimensions 216 times larger than 1.75" by 3".

That would be 31ft 6ins x 54ft.

Live long and prosper.
