Answer:

x=6 is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute 6 as x to find out:

5(6-3)=6+13

first, because of PEMDAS we'll do 6-3

5(3)=6+13

multiply 5 by 3 and add 6 and 13

15=19

Since the statement is not true, that means that x=6 is not a solution

Hope this helps!

Prove that :-<br><br> Cos3A-cosA/sin3A-sinA+cos2A-cos4A/sin4A-sin2A=sinA/cos2Acos3A

ad-work [718]

$\dfrac{\cos^3A-\cos A}{\sin^3A-\sin A}+\dfrac{\cos^2A-\cos^4A}{\sin^4A-\sin^2A}=\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos^2A\cos^3A}\\\\L_s=\dfrac{\cos A(\cos^2A-1)}{\sin A(\sin^2A-1)}+\dfrac{\cos^2A(1-\cos^2A)}{\sin^2A(\sin^2A-1)}\\\\=\dfrac{\cos A(-\sin^2A)}{\sin A(-\cos^2A)}+\dfrac{\cos^2A\sin^2A}{\sin^2A(-\cos^2A)}\\\\=\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}-1=\tan A-1$

$R_s=\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A\cos^4A}=\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}\cdot\dfrac{1}{\cos^4A}=\tan A\cdot\dfrac{1}{\cos^4A}=\dfrac{\tan A}{\cos^4A}$

$\boxed{L_s\neq R_s}$

Arthur weighs 34 lb more than Lily. Their combined weight is 180 lbs less than four times Lily's weight. How much does Arthur we

mote1985 [20]

X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight

x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x -2x
_________________
34 = 2x -180
+180 + 180
_______________
214 = 2x
107 = x which is Lily's weight
141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248

which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
428 -180 = 248
