What value of x satisfies the equation 5(x – 3) – 2(x + 1) = 4?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.

Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get

-2x - 2.

<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>

Now combine like terms:

5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17

<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>

Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.

________________________________

Last, don't forget to check your work.

You can plug in 7 for x to get:

5(7 - 3) = 20

5 × 7 = 35

5 × -3 = -15

35 - 15 = 20

-2(7 + 1) = -16

-2 × 7 = -14

-2 × 1 = - 2

-14 -2 = -16

<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>

⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)

Why is the sum of a rational number and a irrational number always irrational
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.

Find an equation of the sphere with center (4, −12, 8) and radius 10. use an equation to describe its intersection with each of
xxMikexx [17]
<span>Sphere: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Intersection in xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 Intersection in xz-plane: DNE Intersection in yz-plane: (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84 The desired equation is quite simple. Let's first create an equation for the sphere centered at the origin: x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 10^2 Now let's translate that sphere to the desired center (4, -12, 8). To do that, just subtract the center coordinate from the x, y, and z variables. So (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 10^2 (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Might as well deal with that double negative for y, so (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 And we have the desired equation. Now for dealing with the coordinate planes. Basically, for each coordinate plane, simply set the coordinate value to 0 for the axis that's not in the desired plane. So for the xy-plane, set the z value to 0 and simplify. So let's do that for each plane: xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (0 - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (-8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + 64 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 xz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (0 + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 12^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 144 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = -44 And since there's no possible way to ever get a sum of 2 squares to be equal to a negative number, the answer to this intersection is DNE. This shouldn't be a surprise since the center point is 12 units from this plane and the sphere has a radius of only 10 units. yz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (0 - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (-4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 16 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84</span>

Find the distance between the points (0,2)and (-5,-9)The answer must be a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression
LiRa [457]

Answer:

d = \sqrt{146}

Step-by-step explanation:

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d= \sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(-9-2)^2}\\d= \sqrt{(-5)^2+(-11)^2}\\d= \sqrt{25+121}\\d= \sqrt{146}
