1 answer:

7 0

Answer:
x = 2

Explanation:
2(x+2)-5=3(x-1)
1) Use distributive property (multiply the 2 by x+2 and the 3 by x-1)
2x+4-5=3x-3
2) Combine like terms
2x-1=3x-3
3) Subtract 2x on both sides
-1=x-3
4) Add 3 on both sides
2=x

hope this helps!

A baker uses 2.327 kilograms of blueberries for muffins. There are four packages at the fruit market. Which amount is closest to

irinina [24]

Answer:

2.33 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If the baker needs to use 2.327 kilograms of blueberries, we are going to subtract the amount of the packages to the amount he needs and we'll see which is the smallest number.

In the case of 2.3, 2.327 - 2.3 = .027

In the case of 2.42, 2.327 - 2.42 = -0.09

In the case of 2.33, 2.327 - 2.33 = -0.003

In the case of 2.4, 2.327 - 2.4 = -0.07

Therefore, the closest amount to 2.327 is the 2.33 package.

What is x? I will give brainliest if you explain your answer.

horsena [70]

Answer:

x = {0, π/2, 3π/2, 2π}

Step-by-step explanation:

cotx cos x - cot x = 0
cotx( cosx - 1) = 0

1. cotx = 0

x = π/2 + πn
In the interval [0, 2π] we have π/2 and 3π/2

2. cosx = 1

x = 0 + 2πn
In the given interval we have 0 and 2π

So the solution set is:

x = {0, π/2, 3π/2, 2π}
