Mathematics

Answer:

When solving equations like this, you have to use a method called PEMDAS.

This stands for:

<h3>P- Parentesis</h3><h3>E- Exponents</h3><h3>M- Multiply</h3><h3>D- Divide</h3><h3>A- Addition</h3><h3>S- Subtraction</h3>

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

Let's work it out...

Step one) Distribute the equation

Distributing the equation helps simplify it and make solving much easier.

(7x−5) − 1(3x−2)

(7x−5) − 3x + 2

Step two) Eliminate the Parenthesis

Now that the equation is simplified, you can take out the Parenthesis.

(7x − 5) − 3x + 2

7x − 5 − 3x + 2

Step three: Add the numbers

Add the two whole numbers together (-5 + 2)

7x − 5 − 3x + 2

7x − 3 − 3x

Step four: Combine like terms

Combine like terms or the numbers with variables (7x - 3x)

7x − 3 − 3x

4x − 3

Solution

<h2>4x - 3</h2>

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

x = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)

-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0

-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0

-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3

-3 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 4x = 0 + 3

4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

4x = 3

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 0.75

Simplifying

x = 0.75

Solve the equation<br> 6.7x = 5.2x + 12.3
Anna [14]

Answer:

x = 8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

6.7x = 5.2x + 12.3

6.7x - 5.2x = 12.3

1.5x = 12.3

x = 8.2 =  \frac{41}{5}  = 8 \frac{1}{5}

Exam for edmentum// multiplying monomials please help
Artemon [7]

Answer:

3 {w}^{5}  \times  {7w}^{5}  \\  \\  = (3 \times 7)( {w}^{5}  \times  {w}^{5} ) \\  \\  = 21( {w}^{5}  \times  {w}^{5} )

from law of indices:

{x}^{a}  +  {x}^{b}  =  {x}^{(a + b)}

therefore:

= 21 \{ {w}^{(5 + 5)}  \} \\  \\  ={ \boxed{ 21 {w}^{10} }}

Find the value of x. write your answer in simplest radical form
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

<h2>x = 4 \sqrt{2}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x we can use either sine or cosine

Using cosine we have

<h3>\cos(\theta)  =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}</h3>

From the question

x is the hypotenuse

4 is the adjacent

We have

<h3>\cos45=  \frac{4}{x}  \\ x \cos45 = 4 \\ x =  \frac{4}{ \cos(45) }</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 4 \sqrt{2}</h3>

Hope this helps you
