Answer:

x= -7

Step-by-step explanation: you distribute -2 which would be -2x -10 =4. Then you add 10 to both sides to get -2x=14 then divide by -2 to get x= -7.

Lim ln(tan x) as tends to pi/2 from the left

ioda

Let $x=\arctan y$ . Then $\tan x=y$ , and so as $x\to\dfrac\pi2^-$ , you have $y\to+\infty$ . The limit is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2^-}\ln(\tan x)=\lim_{y\to\infty}\ln y=\infty$

Stan worked 4 years less than Marco.This year Stan has worked 29 years.If b is how long Marco worked, the equation b - 4 = 29 re

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Add 4 on both sides.

In the equation there is a -4.

If -4+4=0, that is how you would get rid of the -4.

But, you need to add 4 to 29 to really get rid of the -4.

So, 29+4 is 33.

Convert the percentages in decimals:
90/100 = 0.9, 20/100 = 0.2

Multiply the decimals:
0.9 times 0.2 is 0.18, or 18%

Greg has an 18% chance of being elected both positions.
