Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the negative sign, changing (2x+9) to -2x-9

next, distribute. 10x+−2x+−9=(−3)(15)+(−3)(−4x)

then, combine like the like terms (10x+−2x)+(−9)=12x−45

then you get 8x+−9=12x−45, and you will subtract 12x from both sides, resulting in −4x−9=−45. To get -4x by itself, add 9 to both sides

lastly, divide both sides by -4

x=9

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute

10x - (2x + 9) = -3 (15 - 4x)

10 − 2 − 9 = − 3 (15 − 4)

Combine like terms

8 − 9 = − 3 (15 − 4 )

Rearrange terms

8 − 9 = − 3 (− 4 + 15)

Distribute

8 − 9 = 12 − 45

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

8 − 9 + 9 = 12 − 45 + 9

Smallest of 3 consecutive positive intergers if the product of the smaller two intergers is 5 less than 5 times the largest inte

amm1812

What a delightful little problem ! (Partly because I could see
right away how to do it, and had the answer in a few minutes,
after a lot of impressive-looking algebra on my scratch-paper.)

Three consecutive integers are . . . x, x+1, and x+2

The smallest two are . . . x and x+1
 Their product is . . . . . x(x+1)

5 times the largest one is . . . 5(x+2)
 5 less than that is . . . . . . 5(x+2)-5

Now, the conditions of the problem say that x (x + 1) = 5 (x+2) - 5
THAT's the equation we have to solve, to find 'x' .

 Eliminate parentheses: x² + x = 5x + 10 - 5
 Combine like terms: x² + x = 5x + 5
Subtract 5x from each side: x² - 4x = 5
Subtract 5 from each side: x² - 4x - 5 = 0

You could solve that by factoring it, or use the quadratic equation.

Factored, it says that (x + 1) (x - 5) = 0

From which x = -1
 and x = +5

We only want the positive results, so our three consecutive integers are

 5, 6, and 7 .

To answer the question, the smallest one is 5 .

Check:

 5 x 6 ? = ? (7 x 5) - 5

 30 ? = ? (35) - 5

 30 = 30

 yay !

The board of a large company is made up of 7 women and 9 men. 6 of them will go as a delegation to a national conference.

Burka [1]

Answer:

a) 5765760

b) 60480

c) 5705280

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that order is not important:

Number of women = 7

Number of men = 9

Members of the delegation = 6

a) How many delegations are possible?

$n=\frac{16!}{(16-6)!}=16*15*14*13*12*11\\ n= 5765760$

b) How many of these delegations have all men?

$n_{men} = \frac{9!}{(9-6)!}=9*8*7*6*5*4 \\n_{men} = 60480$

c) How many of these delegations have at least one woman?

$n_{women >0}=n-n_{men}\\n_{women >0} =5765760-60480\\n_{women >0} =5705280$

The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

larger angle: 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

90 / (3 + 2) = 18

larger angle: 13 x 3 = 54°

check: smaller angle: 18 x 2 = 36°

54 + 36 = 90°
