Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.

A. x < -3 or x > -3

4) x=4  -> divide by 2
5) y=9  -> add 2
6) z=2 -> multiply 2 times 1
7) a=10   -> add 7 then divide by 3
8) b=3  -> distributive property, add 1 to other side, and then divide by 8
9) c= -d +4   -> subtract +d+1 and put on other side to solve
10) m= 10/p+2  -> distrubutive property, subtract 2m on both sides to solve

Your favorite local band is selling merchandise and they have asked you to write an algebraic expression to represent their tota
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

  1. 15t + 5c = b
  2. $275

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "t' be the number of t-shirts bought.

Let "c" be the number of CDs bought.

Let b" be the total cost.

15t + 5c = b

We buy 10 t-shirts so t = 10.

We buy 25 CDs so c = 25.

We are trying to find b.

15t + 5c = b

15(10) + 5(25) = b

150 + 125 = b

275 = b

Best of Luck!

Form and solve an equation for .<br> 5x - 7<br> 23
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7 and 23 are vertical angles and are congruent , then

5x - 7 = 23 ( add 7 to both sides )

5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6

Answers:

  • side AT = 36.122997  (approximate)
  • side TR = 14.692547  (approximate)
  • angle T = 66 degrees

===============================================

Explanation:

We'll use the cosine ratio to find side AT

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AR/AT

cos(24) = 33/AT

AT*cos(24) = 33

AT = 33/cos(24)

AT = 36.1229971906996

AT = 36.122997  approximately

---------------------------------

We could use the sine or tangent ratio to find side TR, but let's use the pythagorean theorem instead.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(AR)^2 + (TR)^2 = (AT)^2

33^2 + (TR)^2 = (36.1229971906996)^2

1089 + (TR)^2 = 1304.8709260393

(TR)^2 = 1304.8709260393 - 1089

(TR)^2 = 215.8709260393

TR = sqrt(215.8709260393)

TR = 14.6925466151821

TR = 14.692547  also approximate

---------------------------------

We could use any of the trig ratios of sine, cosine, or tangent to solve for angle T.

However, it's easiest to take advantage of the fact that angles A and T are complementary.

So,

A+T = 90

T = 90-A

T = 90-24

T = 66 degrees

This value is exact.
