Which is a reasonable first step that can be used to solve the equation 4 x + 3 (x + 2) = 5 (2 x minus 3)? Distribute the 3 to x

+ 2, and distribute the 5 to (2x – 3). Combine 4x and x on the left side of the equation. Apply the subtraction property of equality to move the 2 from the left to the right side of the equation. Apply the addition property of equality to move the 3 from the right to the left side of the equation.

Answer:

Distribute the 3 to x + 2, and distribute the 5 to (2x – 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)

Required

Reasonable first step

The reasonable first step is to open the brackets; i.e. distribute 3 to its bracket and 5 to its bracket.

This gives:

4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)

4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15

<em>Then the solution can be continued</em>

A man on a 135-ft vertical cliff looks down at an angle of 16°13' and sees his friend.
iren2701 [21]
A) Use the trigonometric function and ratio cos(x) = A/H. (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)
1. cos(x) = 135/H
2. H*cos(16°) = 135
3. H = 135/cos(16°)
***Make sure calculator is in degree mode***
4. H = 140.44 ft (rounded to two decimal places)
________

b) Use the function and ratio tan(x) = O/A (Opposite/Adjacent)
1. tan(x) = O/A
2. tan(16°) = O/135
3. 135*tan(16°) = O
4. O = 38.71 ft (two decimal places)

Good luck!

After the booster club sold 40 hotdogs at a football game, it had $90 in profit. After the next game, it had sold a total of 80
Ainat [17]
We can model the equation:y = m x + b, where y is the total profit and x is the number of hotdogs sold.The system of equations is:
90 = 40 m + b210 = 80 m + b---------------------b = 90 - 40 m210 = 80 m + 90 - 40 m210 - 90 = 40 m120 = 40 mm = 120 : 40m = 3b = 90 - 40*3b = 90 - 120b = - 30Answer: The equation is y = 3 x - 30
