The answer is -2. The inverse operation is when you do the opposite of the equation. In this case, you subtract 3 by 5. (not 5 by 3) Your result will be -2. Now plug -2 into x to check if it's true.

-2 + 5 = 3
3 = 3

It works! We can conclude here that x = -2.
I hope you understood! Have a good day :)

Vitek1552 [10]

$1 \% = \frac{1}{100}\\ \\x \cdot 10 \% = 47.8 \\ \\ x \cdot \not10^{1}\cdot \frac{1}{\not100^{10}}=47.8\\ \\x \cdot \frac{1}{10}=47.8 \ \ /*10 \\ \\ x \cdot \frac{1}{\not10^{1}}\cdot \not10^{1}=47.8 \cdot 10 \\ \\x =478$

2 At Bea's Pet Shop, the number of dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c. If she decides to add three

KatRina [158]

Let D be dogs and C be cats

dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c

D + 5 = 2C

If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio of cats to dogs will be

D + 8 = 2C + 3

Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

URGENT! PLZ HELP!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 32 / (1 + tan 45) * 6 / cos 58

= sin 32 / 2 * 6 / cos 58 ( since tan 45 = 1)

= 3 sin 32 / cos 58

Note sine 32 = cos (90 - 32) = cos 58, so we have:

= 3 sin 32 / sin 32

= 3.
