Answer:

3x was subtracted from the left side, but 3x was subtracted from the right side. The Subtract Property of Equality states that you can subtract the same number from each side and the equation will remain true. But 3x and 3 are not the same number (unless x is 1).

x = -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

  • (7x+3x)+(21)=5
  • 10x + 21 = 5

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

  • 10x + 21 - 21 = 5 - 21
  • 10x = -16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.

  • \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{-16}{10}
  • x = -\frac{8}{5}

Answer:

  • 3x
  • 3
  • 1
  • x = -1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

You answer this sort of question by comparing each line to the line above to see what the differences are. In the second line, the term 3x is missing from the left side of the equal sign, and the value 5 has been changed to the value 2 on the right side. The wording of the statement you're to fill in tells you that it should read ...

  <u> 3x </u> was subtracted from the left side, but <u> 3 </u> was subtracted from the right side.

  ... 3x and 3 are not the same number (unless x is <u> 1 </u>.)

__

The correct solution is ...

  7x +21 +3x = 5 . . . . . . given

  10x +21 = 5 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  10x = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21 from both sides

  x = -1.6 . . . . . . . . . . . .  divide both sides by 10

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It can often work well to "read ahead" when answering a question or series of questions. The later questions or comments often provide clues that help you understand how to answer the earlier questions.

Here, for example, it becomes clear that 3x and 3 were subtracted from the different sides of the equation. You can find that out simply by reading the rest of the statement you're to fill in. These are the answers to the questions asked in the first part of the statement.

A boat is sighted from a 50-meter observation tower on the shoreline at an angle of depression of 4 degrees moving directly towa
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

  5.76 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides of a right triangle. Here, we are given the side opposite the angle (angle of depression), and we want to find the adjacent side (distance from shore).

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(4°) = (height of tower)/(distance from shore)

  tan(4°) = (50 m)/(distance from shore)

Then the distance from shore is ...

  distance from shore = (50 m)/tan(4°) ≈ 715.03 m

__

At the second sighting, the distance from shore is ...

  distance from shore = (50 m)/tan(12°) ≈ 235.23 m

So, the distance traveled in 1/12 hour is ...

  715.03 m - 235.23 m = 479.80 m

and the speed in km per hour is ...

  speed = 0.4798 km/(1/12 h) = 5.7576 km/h

The speed of the boat is about 5.76 km per hour.

A bag contains A markers, 3/8 of which are red. How many other color markers are in the bag?
vagabundo [1.1K]
8 is the total number of markers in the bag. There are 3 out of 8 that are red. 8-3=5 so there are 5 out of 8 markers that are not red and that are other colors - or 5/8 are other colors.

Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms. g(x)=-2 x²-3(x-2)
valentinak56 [21]

   The function g(x) is a quadratic function:

  • Its quadratic term is -2x²
  • Its linear term is - 3x
  • Its constant is 6

<h3>What are functions?</h3>

 Functions are algebraic expressions that have at least two variables, in order to make their visual representation through a graph and evaluate their behavior.

 This problem deals with linear or quadratic functions, and these differ in the degree of the exponent of the variable:

  1 : linear

  2 : quadratic

  The function:

g(x) = -2x² - 3(x- 2).

g(x) = -2x² - 3x + 6 , we have a quadratic function.

  • Its quadratic term is -2x²
  • Its linear term is - 3x
  • Its constant is 6
