What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)

In a seminar of 1200 people, 65 percent were women, How many men were in the seminar?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were 1200 people, and 65 percent were women, that means the rest of the crowd are men, which is 35 percent. By multiplying 35 percent by the overall population, 1200, (1200*35/100), you'll get 420 men.

Enter the correct answer in the box. Function g is the result of these transformations on the parent sine function: vertical str
Llana [10]

Answer:

By substituting the values of A, C, and D the equation modelling the function is;

g(x) = 3·sin(x - π/2) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we have;

The vertical stretch of the sine function = 3 × The parent function

∴ A = 3

Given that the horizontal shift left = π/2 units, (from an online source with similar question)

The vertical shift down = 4 units

The given function, g is g(x) = A·sin(x + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude = The maximum displacement from the rest or equilibrium position = 3

C = The horizontal shift = -π/2 (The negative sign is for the shifting to the left)

D = The vertical shift = -4 (The negative sign is for a shift in the downward direction)

Therefore, the equation modelling the function is;

g(x) = 3·sin(x - π/2) - 4
