Answer:

Yes because after solving the equation, x does indeed equal 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 + 2x = 23

2x = 23 + 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Answer:

-5 + 2x= 23 x= 14 (Correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true because the first step you take to sloving this equation is to move the constant to the right. Then calculate. Divide both sides and your answer should equal x=14!

A beverage producer makes two products, Pi Cola, containing 10% cola, and Pi Up, containing 50% cola. How many gallons of Pi Up
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The number of gallons of Pi Up required is 900 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two different drinks that are produced by the beverage producer are Pi Cola which contains 10% Cola and Pi Up which contains 50% cola.

A solution is to be created using Pi Cola and Pi Up to create a new product containing 40% cola.

It has been mentioned that the number of gallons of Pi Up to be used is 300 gallons.

We can write that the number of gallons of Pi Up that must be mixed with 300 gallons of Pi Cola be x gallons.

So we write the first equation and we can say that the total number of gallons of the solution is x + 300.

Equating the percentage of cola from each beverage to get the required 40% cola we can write

  (0.1 × 300) + (0.5 × x)  = 0.4 × ( x + 300)

If we solve for x from the above equation we get

  (0.5 x + 30)  = (0.4 x + 120)

⇒ 0.1 x  = (120 - 30)  = 90

⇒ x  = 900 gallons

Therefore the number of gallons of Pi Up required is 900.

The captain of a ship at point A and sailing toward point B observes a lighthouse at L and finds angle LAC to be 36*30'. After s
wel

Answer:

The distance between B and lighthouse is 3.8688 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle made from ship to lighthouse is 36.5 degrees

and that of point B is 73 degrees.

To Find:

Distance  Between Point B and Lighthouse

Solution:

<em>Consider a triangle LAB(Refer the attachment )</em>

And Point C is on the line AB as A i.e. ship is sailing to B

So C is at 5 km from A.

Now In triangle LAC,

Using Trigonometry Functions as ,

tan(36.5)=LC/AC

LC=tan(36.5)*AC

=0.7399*5

=3.6998 km

Now In triangle LBC,

As,

Sin(73)=LC/LB

LB=LC/(Sin(73))

=3.6998/0.9563

=3.8688 km

LB=3.8688 km

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! HELP!​
Virty [35]

Answer:

d) x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{x} +5 = \sqrt{x + 45}

(\sqrt{x} +5)^{2}   = (\sqrt{x + 45})^{2}

x + 10\sqrt{x} +25 = x + 45

10\sqrt{x}  = 20

divide 10 in both sides

(\sqrt{x}){2}  = (2){2}

x=4
