x=4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

get x alone.

1st get 3 on the other side of the = sign by using the opposite sign. the opposite of addition is subtraction

-5x+3=2x-1

-3 -3

-5x=2x-1-3

-5x=2x-4

now we get the xs together. the opposite of addition( the 2 is positive) is subtraction

-5x=2x-4

-2x -2x

-7x=-4

now let's get the -7 out of here. -7 is multiplying by x. the opposite of multiplication is division.

<u>-7x</u><u> </u>= <u>-</u><u>4</u>

-7. -7

x=-4/-7

negative divided by a negative is a positive

x=4/7

How do i solve thissss (mainly the question on the bottom)
Ymorist [56]

a)

well done

b)

well, a function for a relationship means, the x-coordinates must not repeat in a set, namely that for every "y" there must be a unique "x" coordinate, no X-REPEATS.

so for example in a relation that say is { (3, 4) , (5, 4) , (7, 4) , (10, 11) }, we do have y-coordinates repeated, but for a function that doesn't matter, our x-coordinates are not repeated thus, it's a function.

in this case, let's see the relationship set, just a few points { (3,5) , (3,6) , (3,8) , (6,10)}, well darn, we have 3 repeated three times in the x-coordinate slots, therefore is not a function, just a relation.

444/6 =74
long division
all what you do is see how many times the outside number (divisor) goes into the inside number (dividend). So 6 doesn’t go into 4 then we will see if 6 goes into 44, yes it does, it goes into it 7 times. 7 x 6= 42. so 44-42=2.
Bring down the 4 and now you have 24. 6 goes into 24, 4 times. 6 x 4=24.
now you answer is 74

What steps do you need to take to solve the equation 1 2x+6=18​?
Elis [28]

1.) move the constant over (1/2x=18-6) || 2.) combine like terms (1/2x=12) || 3.) divide both sides by 1/2 to get x alone (x=6)

4. Both the Galapagos Islands and the island of Naura are on the Equator, but the Galapagos Islands are at 90.30◦W whereas the i
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Distance between Nauru and Galapagos islands = 11525 Km to the nearest Km

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the two Islands is given as X

X = (180 - 166.56) + (180 - 90.30)

X = 13.44° + 89.70°

X = 103.14

Distance between the islands = length of the arc with angle X subtended at the center of the earth of radius R.

Length of arc = (X/360) × 2πR

Where, R, radius of the earth = 6400 Km

Length of arc = (103.14/360) × 2π × 6400 Km

Length of arc = 11525.48 Km

Therefore, distance between Nauru and Galapagos islands = 11525 Km to the nearest Km
