Answer:

1. Never true

2. Never true

3. Bad question! Typo? (see discussion below)

4. Always true

5. Always false

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 13 = x + 1. Subtract x from both sides of the equation, and you get -13 = 1. False! (Never true!)

2. x + 1/2 = x - 1/2. Subtract x from both sides: 1/2 = - 1/2. False! (Never true!)

3. This one's weird, with two equal signs. That's not unusual; multiple equal signs are often used when a chain of equalities is being displayed. For instance, you can write (3)(2x + 5) = (3)(2x) + (3)(5) = 6x + 15. That's an example of the Distributive Property--the 3 is multiplied by both of the terms inside parentheses (shown after the first equal sign), then actually doing those multiplications produces the expression after the second equal sign.

OK! This question says 2(x + 3) = 5x = 6 - 3x. Take it in two parts.

a. 2(x + 3) = 5x Distribute the 2.

2x + 6 = 5x Now subtract 2x from both sides.

6 = 3x Divide both sides by 3.

2 = x So that first part is true only when x = 2. Gaa! That's not one of your answer choices. Now, check out the second part

b. 5x = 6 - 3x Add 3x to both sides.

8x = 6 Divide by 8

x = 6/8 = 3/4

It doesn't help to use the first and <u>third</u> expressions, either.

2(x + 3) = 6 - 3x Distribute the 2

2x + 6 = 6 - 3x Add 3x.

5x + 6 = 6 Subtract 6.

5x = 0 Divide by 5

x = 0

None of these is always false. None of these is always true.

4. x - 3 = 2x - 3 - x Simplify the right side by combining the x terms.

x - 3 = x - 3 Aha! Same expression on both sides! Always true

5. 3(x - 5) = 2(x - 5) + x Distribute the 3. Distribute the 2.

3x - 15 = 2x - 10 + x Combine the x terms on the right.

3x - 15 = 3x - 10 Subtract 3x

-15 = -10 (Always false!)

How do I do this explain

xeze [42]

So you would take 3x1+2 that gives you 5 and you would keep the same denominator and so that would give you 5/3 then do the same to the other side which would give you 5/4 then you would times it and that would give you 2 1/12

ΔABC is dilated by a factor of 3 to produce ΔA'B'C'.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation does not change the value of angle.

so angle measurement should be same as before .

Angle A= 37

Scale factor is 3 so multiply length by 3

So A'C'= 3×5 =15

How do I solve: 2 sin (2x) - 2 sin x + 2√3 cos x - √3 = 0

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} +k\, \pi$ or $\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ , where $k$ is an integer.

There are three such angles between $0$ and $2\pi$ : $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}$ , $\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{3}$ , and $\displaystyle \frac{4\,\pi}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the double angle identity of sines:

$\sin(2\, x) = 2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x$ .

Rewrite the original equation with this identity:

$2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) - 2\, \sin x + 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0$ .

Note, that $2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x)$ and $(-2\, \sin x)$ share the common factor $(2\, \sin x)$ . On the other hand, $2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x$ and $(-\sqrt{3})$ share the common factor $\sqrt[3}$ . Combine these terms pairwise using the two common factors:

$(2\, \sin x) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) + \left(\sqrt{3}\right)\, (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

Note the new common factor $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ . Therefore:

$\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

This equation holds as long as either $\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right)$ or $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ is zero. Let $k$ be an integer. Accordingly:

$\displaystyle \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\, \pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ .
$\displaystyle \cos x = \frac{1}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ .

Any $x$ that fits into at least one of these patterns will satisfy the equation. These pattern can be further combined:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + k \, \pi$ (from $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\,\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ , combined,) as well as
$\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ .

A person who is 3 m tall casts a shadow that is 6 m long. At the same time, a building

podryga [215]

Answer:

13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

25 / 2 = 13.5

because if a human is 3 meters tall and cast 2 times the length of himself then if a building casts 25 meters then it should be 2 times less than its shadow.
