Explain how to do the problem -3x - 11 = 10

Mathematics

babymother [125]3 years ago

Answer: x = -7

Step-by-step explanation: to do the problem -3x - 11 = 10, first separate the x from everything else, except the -3. To do this, you have to get rid of the 11, and since it is negative, you have to add it to both sides of the equation. This gets rid of the 11 on the left side, and adds 11 to the right side, making the right side equal 21. Last, divide -3 from both sides to get x on the left, and -7 on the right. This makes x = -7

The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 4 what are the two numbers
Deffense [45]

Answer:

27 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.

The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4

Now we solve the system, using elimination method:

x+y=50

x-y=4

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

And from any of the equations we can find Y

27 + y = 50

y = 50 - 27

y = 23

Multiple Choice! What is the solution to the following equation?
earnstyle [38]
<h3>Given Equation:</h3>

25 - 5x = 5( -x + 5 )

<h3>Solution:</h3>

25 - 5x = -5x + 25

or, 25 - 25 - 5x + 5x = 0

or, x = 0

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Option B. x = 0</u>

<h3>To Check:</h3>

25 - 5x = 5 ( -x + 5 )

or, 25 - 5(0) = 5 ( 0 + 5 )

or, 25 - 0 = 0 + 25

or, 25 = 25

LHS = RHS

Hence, Verified.

What is the measure of angle x?<br> 37<br> Enter your answer in the box<br> 82<br> m3 =
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

we kno that a triangle is 180 degrees so we just add the first two angles

37 + 82 = 119

then subtract that from 180

180 - 119 = 61

so x = 61 degrees

lmk if this wrong and ill fix it

hope this helps <3

One side of a rectangle is three times as long as another. If its area is 363 square centimeters, find its dimensions.
Yakvenalex [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  11 cm by 33 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem mentally as follows.

Consider the rectangle as 3 squares, side-by-side. Then the area of each of those squares is 363/3 = 121 cm^2. From your knowledge of the squares of numbers, you know that 121 = 11^2. So, the width of the rectangle is 11 cm, and the length is 3 times that, or 33 cm.

_____

Using variables, we can let w represent the width. Then 3w can represent the length, and the area is ...

  A = LW

  A = (3w)(w) = 3x^2 = 363

  w^2 = 363/3 = 121

  w = √121 = 11

  3w = 3·11 = 33

The width is 11 cm; the length is 33 cm.

A person 6ft tall stands 10ft from point P directly beneath a lantern hanging 30 ft above the ground. The lantern start to fall,
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

\frac{dL}{dt}=30 \frac{ft}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this it is always a good idea to start by drawing a diagram of the situation (See attached picture).

From the diagram we can see that we are dealing with similar triangles. We can use similar triangles to build an equation that relates the length of the shadow with the height of the lamp, so we get:

\frac{L}{6}=\frac{10+L}{h}

the height of the lamp can be found by subtracting the 16t^{2} distance the lamp falls in a given time t from the original 30ft the lamp was located at.

So the equation will now lok like this:

\frac{L}{6}=\frac{10+L}{30-16t^{2}}

So now we can solve the equation for L, we can start by multiplying by the LCD SO WE GET:

L(30-16t^{2})=6(10+L)

next, we can distribute the right side of the equation so we get:

L(30-16t^{2})=60+6L

and subtract 6L from both sides so we get:

L(30-16t^{2})-6L=60

and factor L, so we get:

L(30-16t^{2}-6)=60

and solve for L:

L=\frac{60}{24-16t^{2}}

now, we can differentiate this equation by using the chain rule, so we get:

dL=-\frac{60}{(24-16t^{2})^{2}}(-32t)dt

which can be simplified to:

\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{1920t}{(24-16t^{2})^{2}}

and now we can substitute t for 1s so we get:

\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{1920(1)}{(24-16(1)^{2})^{2}}

\frac{dL}{dt}=30 \frac{ft}{s}
