Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

The water level in Rick Lake changes at an average of -7/16 inch every 3 years.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

-7/48

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Ok, so if there is a change of -7/16 inches every 3 years, then you just basically have to divide -7/16 inches by 3. And since you can't divide fraction and only multiply the reciprocal of a fraction you would say        -7/16 * 1/3 = -7/48.
  2. If you want to mark it on a number line, you would basically just find -7/16 and divide the distance from 0 to -7/16 into 3 portions and mark the 1st third of the distance your answer.

Robert is lying on the ground, looking at the top of a flagpole. The angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole is 25°. What
Archy [21]

Answer:

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration  forms a right angle triangle. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the flag is 25° . The distance from his eyes at the ground to the base of the flagpole is 200 ft.

The adjacent side of the triangle formed is the distance of his eyes from the flagpole. The height of the flagpole is the opposite side of the right angle triangle formed.

using tangential ratio

tan 25° = opposite/adjacent

tan 25° = x/200

cross multiply

200 tan 25° = x

x = 200 × 0.46630765815

x = 93.261531631

x = 93.26 ft

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

qwelly [4]
A line with an undefined slope would be vertical, meaning the x-coordinate will not change regardless of where the y-coordinate is.

Therefore, the equation would simply be x= -2

This is b/c x does not ever change (it is a vertical line)
while y could be any number on that line
