<span>First, group the x values together (on one side) and the other values on the other.
6x + 3 - 1/2 x = -2x +5
6x - 1/2 x + 2x = 5 - 3
Now solve!
7 and 1/2 x = 2
x = 8
Hope this helps!</span>
The correct answer should be nine
Y=5x-4
3y=15x-8
3(5x-4)=15x-8
15x-12=15x-8
??
Therefore, there is no solution.
I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.
We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.
sin(x) = 84 / 85
x = sin^-1(84/85)
x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
John is currently 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 years ago: x years
Current time: x+2
In 6 years: x+8
EQUATION:
3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8
(subract x from both sides)
2x=8
x=4
Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time
