Solve for x. -2(16 - 4x) - 8 = 6(x + 2)

1 answer:

6 0

So...

-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2)            Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12                 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12                    Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12                          Add 40 to both sides
2x=52                                 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26                                   Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2)   Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28)                  Multiply
176-8=168                         Subtract
168=168

So x=26

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

What is the difference between a ray and line segment line segment is a part of a line bound by multiple points along the line;

koban [17]

A line segment is a part of a line bound by two points; a ray is a line with one endpoint that extends to infinity in one direction. is the difference between a ray and line segment.

Option: C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a set of multiple points that extends from one point to its opposite direction without any end. Ray and Line segments are the two parts that can occur in a line.

A ray is a line with an endpoint in which the line can be extended from that point to infinity in a direction. A line segment also another part line and it consists of two points. Moreover, The line is bounded between those points.

In triangle NOP p equals 600 inches angle P equals 96° and angle N equals 64° what is the area of triangle NOP to the nearest 10

DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

55,637.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find side n using the Law of Sines:

n/sin(N) = p/sin(P)

n = p(sin(N)/sin(P)) = 600·sin(64°)/sin(96°)

n ≈ 542.246913 . . . . inches

The angle O is ...

O = 180° -N -P = 180° -64° -96° = 20°

Then the area is ...

A = 1/2·np·sin(O)

A = (1/2)(542.246913 in)(600 in)·sin(20°) ≈ 55,637.81008 in²

The area of ∆NOP is about 55,637.8 in².

Review the steps of the proof of the identity

astraxan [27]

Answer:

step 2

and then step 3 : the error neutralized the error of step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)

and because

sin(-b) = -sin(b)

cos(-b) = cos(b)

we have

sin(a - b) = sin(a)cos(-b) + cos(a)sin(-b) =

= sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b)

3pi/2 = 270° or -90°.

sin(3pi/2) = sin(270) = sin(-90) = -1

that means, it is the full radius straight down from the center of the circle.

cos(3pi/2) = cos(270) = cos(-90) = cos(90) = 0

so, step 1 is correct :

sin(A - 3pi/2) = sin(A)cos(3pi/2) - cos(A)sin(3pi/2) =

= sin(A)×0 - cos(A)×(-1) (correct step 2)

but as we see, the provided step 2 is incorrect.

it should have been the indicated

sin(A)×0 - cos(A)×(-1)

and NOT the provided

sin(A)×0 + cos(A)×(-1)

step 3 based on the erroneous step 2 should then have been

sin(A)×0 - (1)cos(A)

but instead another error with the sign was made that neutralized the error of step 2 and we got after this second mistake by pure chance the overall correct step 3

sin(A)×0 + (1)cos(A)

so, again, the first error was made in step 2.

but technically, there was also a consecutive error made in step 3 to bring everything back to the correct approach.
