3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x - 1 what is x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]2 years ago
4 0

The answer you are looking for is x=-2.

Solution/Explanation:

Writing out the equation

3[-x+(2x+1)]=x-1

Simplifying inside of the brackets first

Combining like terms, since -x+2x=x

3(x+1)=x-1

*You can remove the parenthesis, if preferred.

Using the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation

3x+3=x-1

Now, subtracting the "x" variable from both sides

3x+3-x=x-x-1

"x-x" cancels out to 0.

3x+3-x=-1

Combining like terms and simplifying

3x-x+3=-1

2x+3=-1

Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation

2x+3-3=-1-3

"3-3" cancels out to zero.

2x+0=-1-3

2x=-1-3

Simplifying the right side of the equation

2x=-4

Finally, dividing both sides by 2

2x/2=-4/2

Simplifying the final part of the problem

Since 2x/2=x and -4/2=-2

x=-2

So, therefore, the final answer is x=-2.

Hope that this has helped you. Good day to you.

1)cot a/2 -tan a/2 = 2 cot a<br>2) cot b/2 + tan b/2= 2 cosec b<br> prove​
VladimirAG [237]
1)

LHS = cot(a/2) - tan(a/2)

= (1 - tan^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= (2-sec^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= 2cot(a/2) - cosec(a/2)sec(a/2)

= 2(1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 1/(cos(a/2)sin(a/2))

= 2 (1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 2/sin(a)) (product to sums)

= 2[(1+cos(a) -1)/sin(a)]

=2cot a

= RHS

2.

LHS = cot(b/2) + tan(b/2)

= [1 + tan^2(b/2)]/tan(b/2)

= sec^2(b/2)/tan(b/2)

= 1/sin(b/2)cos(b/2)

using product to sums

= 2/sin(b)

= 2cosec(b)

= RHS

Sharon tracks the number of cupcakes she sells each day for a week. the numbers of cupcakes she sold are 23, 25, 32, 35, 36, 25,
Nezavi [6.7K]
To find the mean: You have to add them all together, then divide them by how many numbers there are.
 
So: 23+25+32+35+36+25+27 = 203

How many numbers did we add up? 7.

203 ÷ 7 = 32.85714 (That is the mean rounded up to the nearest hundredth thousandth).

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See attached. (Both inequalities graph to the same region.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an inequality, you first replace the inequality symbol by an equal sign. Then you graph the line (or curve) described by the equation. If the inequality symbol includes the "or equal to" case, then the line (or curve) is solid and is part of the solution set. If not, then the line (or curve) is dashed and is <em>not part of the solution set</em>.

Here, the line x+y=5, will bound the solution set, but is not part of it.

Note that the line -x -y = -5 (from the second inequality) is the same ilne.

_____

After you have graphed the boundary of the solution region, you need to determine which side of the boundary has the solutions. I find it easy to do this by locating an x- or y-term with a positive coefficient and seeing which side of the inequality symbol that lies on. Here, both the x-term and the y-term lie on the "is greater than" side of the symbol, so the half-plane is shaded above and to the right of the line, where x- and y-values are greater than they are on the line.

In the second inequality, you can multiply the whole thing by -1 to get

... x + y > 5 . . . . same as the first inequality

or you can add (x+y) to both sides to get

... 0 < -5 +x +y

Once again, the x- and y-values that satisfy this are greater than those that are on the boundary line.

_____

The graph seems to show only one equation. Both are there, but the dashed blue line sits on top of the dashed red line, so you can't see it. The purple shading indicates both red and blue shading in the same area.

===== =====

Of course you graph the boundary line the way you would any linear equation. In this form, it is not too difficult to see that both the x- and y-intercepts are 5. (When x=0, y=5; and when y=0, x=5 for the boundary line's equation x+y=5.) Draw the dotted line through these intercept points, add shading above, and you have your graph.

What are the 3 angle measures in the triangle shown below
7nadin3 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  39°, 106°, 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angle measures in a triangle is 180°. Then the sum of angle expressions will be 180.

  (3x +1) +(11x -4) +(5x -7) = 180

  19x -10 = 180 . . . . . collect terms

  19x = 190 . . . . . . . . add 10

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 19

__

Then the three angle measures are ...

  • 3·10 +1 = 31
  • 11·10 -4 = 106
  • 5·10 -7 = 43

The appropriate choice is ...

  B.  31°, 106°, 43°
