Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

3x + 5(2 + x) = 4x - 7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 5:                                                                 3x + 10 + 5x = 4x - 7
  2. [Addition] Combine like terms:                                                                        8x + 10 = 4x - 7
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides:                      4x + 10 = -7
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides:                       4x = -17
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides:                                  x = -17/4

Answer:

x=\frac{-17}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+5(2+x)=4x−7

3x+(5)(2)+(5)(x)=4x+−7(Distribute)

3x+10+5x=4x+−7

(3x+5x)+(10)=4x−7(Combine Like Terms)

8x+10=4x−7

8x+10=4x−7

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

8x+10−4x=4x−7−4x

4x+10=−7

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x+10−10=−7−10

4x=−17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-17}{4}

x=\frac{-17}{4}

harkovskaia [24]

ANSWER.

The measure of angle A is 53.13°.

STEP BY STEP

Given,

ABC is a triangle,

In which m∠CBA = 90°, AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm and CA = 5 cm,

By the law of sine,

 ( By cross multiplication )

By substituting the values,

 ( sin 90° = 1 )

<u>Hence, the measure of angle A is </u><u>53.13°.</u>

The point at which the slope of the tangent line is -3
AlexFokin [52]
F(x) = 6x^2 + 3x - 6

The derivative, and thus the slope of the T. L. to the graph, is f '(x) = 12x + 3.  Set this result = to -3 and solve for x:

12x + 3 = -3  =>  12x = - 6 and x = -1/2
                                                                       6 + 6 - 24
If x = -1/2, y = f(-1/2) = 6(1/4) - 3(-1/2) - 6 = -----------------  = -6
                                                                             4

The slope of the T. L. to the graph will be -3 at the point (-1/2, -6).

What is the slope of the line that contains these points. <br> X -4 -3 -2 -1<br> Y 2 5 8 11
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

m= \frac{1}{3} \\

Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to get your you can do it 2 ways: 1). \frac{rise}{run} which is how far up you go (rise) over how far left or right you go (run).    2). \frac{x2-x1}{y2-y1} which is pick two values and you subtract your second pair from your first pair. You get the same answer either way. In this case, the slope is 1 over 3 or 1/3.
