How many solutions does the equation 5x+17=4(3x−1) have?

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

one solution = 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)

5x+17=12x+−4

5x+17=12x−4

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x

−7x+17=−4

Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−7x+17−17=−4−17

−7x=−21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7

-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3

Find the value of x and the value of y
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE is parallel to AB and intersects the other 2 sides, it divides those sides proportionally, that is

\frac{BE}{EC} = \frac{AD}{DC}

Note that AD = 33 - 22 = 11

Substitute values into the ratio

\frac{x}{16} = \frac{11}{22} = \frac{1}{2} ( cross- multiply )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

To find y use similar triangles

Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEC, thus ratios of corresponding sides are equal

\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{AC}{DC}, substitute values

\frac{18}{y} = \frac{33}{22} = \frac{3}{2} ( cross- multiply )

3y = 36 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 12

Thus y = 12, x = 8 → A

In AEFG, F = 61 inches, ZF=79º and ZG=34°. Find the length of g, to the nearest<br> 10th of an inch.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

  g ≈ 34.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines is useful for this:

  f/sin(F) = g/sin(G)

Multiplying by sin(G), we have ...

  g = f·sin(G)/sin(F) = (61 in)·sin(34°)/sin(79°)

  g ≈ 34.7 in
