Mathematics

Answer:

x =  -  \frac{11}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x - 1 = 6x + 12

- (x - 1) = 6x + 12

2) Solve the first equation. x - 1 = 6x + 12

x =  -  \frac{13}{5}

3) Solve the second equation: -( x - 1 ) = 6x + 12.

x =  -  \frac{11}{7}

4) Collect all solution.

x =   - \frac{13}{5}. -  \frac{11}{7}

5) Check solution.

<em>When x=-\frac{13}{5}x=−513, the original equation |x-1|=6x+12∣x−1∣=6x+12 does not hold true.</em>

<em>When x=-\frac{13}{5}x=−513, the original equation |x-1|=6x+12∣x−1∣=6x+12 does not hold true.We will drop x=-\frac{13}{5}x=−513 from the solution set.</em>

6) Simplify.

x =  -  \frac{11}{7}

The ratio of ebooks to novels is 4:5. if there are 32 ebooks how many novels are there?
12345 [234]
<h3>Answer:  40 novels</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

n = number of novels

(32 ebooks)/(n novels) = 4/5

32/n = 4/5

32*5 = n*4 ............ cross multiply

160 = 4n

4n = 160

n = 160/4 .............. dividing both sides by 4

n = 40

There are 40 novels.

Can you help me solve for x?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

10x-10 = 60 +4x+2

Combine like terms

10x-10 = 62+4x

Subtract 4x from each side

10x-4x -10 = 62 +4x-4x

6x -10 = 62

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 62+10

6x= 72

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12
