Answer:

X= 20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

−3x+4=−16

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−3x+4−4=−16−4

−3x=−20

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x −3 = −20 /−3

X= 20/3

Answer:

x=20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

-3x+(4-4)=(-16-4)

that gives you -3x=-20

then divide both sides by 3

-3x/3=-20/-3

so you get 20/3 because you canceled out 3 which just gives you x. so x is equal to 20/3

Change 1/50 to a decimal

Tems11 [23]

The answer is 0.02

All you have to do is divide 1 by 50. You can think of it as if it was divided by 100. If you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 you get 2/100 which is 0.02

I need help, how do I find x

Burka [1]

The triangle height is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem
height^2 = 15^2 - 9^^2
height^2 = 225 - 81
height^2 = 144
height = 12

We can calculate the value of Angle a
cosine (a) = adj / hyp = 9/15 = .6
arc cosine (a) = 53.13 degrees
angle b = 180 -90 -53.13
angle b = 36.87 degrees
tangent b = height / x
tangent 36.87 = 12 / x
x = 12 / .75
x = 16

Yes, it's just that "simple" LOL
