Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
Answer:
-20.50?
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you said he added 5 dollars in his account which would get some of his debt removed. But he would still have a remaining -20.50 dollars to get rid of.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 800/x=100/17
(800/x)*x=(100/17)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
800=5.88235294118*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.88235294118) to get x
800/5.88235294118=x
136=x
x=136
83% of 800=664
Answer:
Yes, △ABC ∼ △FED by AA postulate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two triangles ABC and FED.
m∠A = m∠B
m∠C = m∠A + 30°
m∠E = m∠F = 
m∠D = 
°.
Now, let m∠A = m∠B = 
So, m∠C = m∠A + 30° = 
Now, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore,
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180
Therefore, m∠A = 50°, m∠B = 50° and m∠C = m∠A + 30° = 50 + 30 = 80°.
Now, consider triangle FED,
m∠D+ m∠E + m∠F = 180
Therefore, m∠F = 50°
m∠E = 50° and
m∠D = 
So, both the triangles have congruent corresponding angle measures.
m∠A = m∠F = 50°
m∠B = m∠E = 50°
m∠C = m∠D = 80°
Therefore, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.
