Answer:

When finding these problems we always have to do the opposite of the operation shown.

In this case its:

5x + 15 = 45

Subtract 15 from both sides (we start off with constants and numbers that are being shown) The reason why its subtraction is because since your adding 15 to 5x the opposite of that is subtraction so use the number shown by itself and subtract it from both sides.

5x = 30

Divide by 5 on both sides since the opposite of 5x is division (only use the number that is shown) We have to get rid of all the numbers on the left.

therefore you'll be left with:

X = 6

Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+15=45

5x=45-15

5x=30,divide both sides by 5 to get x

x=6

Plz I'm sooooo confuzzled: If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, do you get the same result tha

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

the answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shape is in the upper left quadrant then you reflect it across the x-axis it would be in the lower left quadrant, next you reflect across the y-axis it would be in the lower right quadrant, finally, if you rotate it 180 degrees it would be where it started.

Is this correct btw I put 1400

Oxana [17]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: The answer of 1400 is correct.

What I did is I found the area of the figure assuming it was a rectangle, then I subtracted the corners that were removed.

1800 - 150 - 100 - 150 = 1400

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 20$ --- tree distance from north gate

$b =14$ --- movement from south gate

$c = 1775$ --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

$\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB$ --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

$AE:DE = AB:CB$

Where:

$AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775$

Substitute these in the above equation

$20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775$

$20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775$

Express as fraction

$\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

$\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

Cross multiply

$x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40$

Open bracket

$x^2 + 34x = 71000$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0$

Factor out x + 284

$(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0$

Split

$x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0$

Solve for x

$x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284$

x can't be negative;

So:

$x = 250$

What is the slope of the line y=3x-5

xeze [42]

Answer:

The y intercept and the slope are given in the equation. y=mx+b is slope-intercept form. mx is the slope and b is the y intercept. so in y=3x-5, 3x is the slope and -5 is the y intercept (what y is when x is zero).
