Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to find the value of x.
Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.
short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25
x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")
x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root
x = 15
Hi there!
The Eqn. is :-
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
Combining the like terms :-
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3
- 3x = - 15 + 3
- 3x = - 12
x =
x = 4
Hence, the required answer is → x = 4

Answer:
(a) ¬(p→¬q)
(b) ¬p→q
(c) ¬((p→q)→¬(q→p))
Step-by-step explanation
taking into account the truth table for the conditional connective:
<u>p | q | p→q </u>
T | T | T
T | F | F
F | T | T
F | F | T
(a) and (b) can be seen from truth tables:
for (a) <u>p∧q</u>:
<u>p | q | ¬q | p→¬q | ¬(p→¬q) | p∧q</u>
T | T | F | F | T | T
T | F | T | T | F | F
F | T | F | T | F | F
F | F | T | T | F | F
As they have the same truth table, they are equivalent.
In a similar manner, for (b) p∨q:
<u>p | q | ¬p | ¬p→q | p∨q</u>
T | T | F | T | T
T | F | F | T | T
F | T | T | T | T
F | F | T | F | F
again, the truth tables are the same.
For (c)p↔q, we have to remember that p ↔ q can be written as (p→q)∧(q→p). By replacing p with (p→q) and q with (q→p) in the answer for part (a) we can change the ∧ connector to an equivalent using ¬ and →. Doing this we get ¬((p→q)→¬(q→p))
