First of all, you can move the +2x to the other side:
-11 = -26 - 2x
Then you can move the -26 to the other side and then simplify:
-11+26 = -2x
15 = -2x
Then you can divide both sides by 2:
7.5 = -x
Then you can flip the sides and the signs around:
x = -7.5
No, The answer is not -7, it is -7.5
Hope this helps! :)
Suppose that this person drives at r mph going to the mountains, and gets there in 12 hours. Returning, this person drives at (r+20) mph and gets home in 8 hours. We don't know the distance yet, but can solve for the initial speed, r, by setting
d = 12r = (r+20)(8). Solving for r, r=40 mph (going) and (40+20)mph = 60 mph (returning. Since d=12 r, d = (12 hrs)(40 mph) = 480 miles (answer).
Hello!

To solve, we can set up an algebraic expression.
Complementary angles add up to 90°, and in this instance, one angle is 27.4° more than the other. Therefore:
∠1 = x
∠2 = x + 27.4°
∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
x + (x + 27.4°) = 90°
Combine like terms:
2x + 27.4° = 90°
Subtract 27.4 from both sides:
2x = 62.6°
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 31.3°
Therefore, one of the angles is 31.3°. Solve for the measure of the other angle:
(31.3°) + 27.4° = 58.7°
Answer: The top of the Crane is 31 feet above the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
When it is fully extended, the crane arm forms a 30 degree angle with a line parallel to the ground. This means that a right angle triangle is formed. The length of the Crane's arm represents the hypotenuse. The horizontal distance represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. The distance, h of the top of the Crane from the ground represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the Sine trigonometric ratio.
Sin θ, = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Sin 30 = h/62
h = 62Sin30
h = 62 × 0.5
h = 31 feet
The associative law states that it doesn't matter how we group numbers when we add and/or multiply. So we could rearrange the brackets and parentheses to get the equivalent equation:
9m(6+n)
Both equations total:
54m+9mn
(I applied the distributive property to solve it).
