3(5x+2)=8x+20

15x+6=8x+20

15x-8x=20-6

7x=14

then you divide both sides by 2

The answer is 2.

<span>3(5x + 2)=8x + 20
Use distributive property
15x + 6=8x + 20
Subtract 8x from 15x so that the variable x is only on one side.
7x + 6= 20
Subtract 6 from both sides
7x = 14
Divide 7 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x= 2</span>

What is area of this
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A = 20.5 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

you have the height of 5 but need to figure out the base

we can use the Pythagorean Theorem two times to find it

1) a² + 5² = 7²

a² = 49-25

a = \sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4}·\sqrt{6} = 2\sqrt{6}

2) b² + 5² = 6²

b² = 36-25

b = \sqrt{11}

Base = 2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{11}

A = 1/2 x 5· (2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{11})

A = 2.5 · (2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{11})

A = 2.5(8.2)

A = 20.5

(a) Find a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the planes −4x+2y−z=1 and 3x−2y+2z=1.
valentinak56 [21]

Find the intersection of the two planes. Do this by solving for <em>z</em> in terms of <em>x</em> and <em>y </em>; then solve for <em>y</em> in terms of <em>x</em> ; then again for <em>z</em> but only in terms of <em>x</em>.

-4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - <em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = -4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - 1

3<em>x</em> - 2<em>y</em> + 2<em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = (1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>)/2

==>   -4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - 1 = (1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>)/2

==>   -8<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> - 2 = 1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>

==>   -5<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> = 3

==>   <em>y</em> = (3 + 5<em>x</em>)/2

==>   <em>z</em> = -4<em>x</em> + 2 (3 + 5<em>x</em>)/2 - 1 = <em>x</em> + 2

So if we take <em>x</em> = <em>t</em>, the line of intersection is parameterized by

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨<em>t</em>, (3 + 5<em>t</em> )/2, 2 + <em>t</em>⟩

Just to not have to work with fractions, scale this by a factor of 2, so that

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩

(a) The tangent vector to <em>r</em><em>(t)</em> is parallel to this line, so you can use

<em>v</em> = d<em>r</em>/d<em>t</em> = d/d<em>t</em> ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩ = ⟨2, 5, 2⟩

or any scalar multiple of this.

(b) (-1, -1, 1) indeed lies in both planes. Plug in <em>x</em> = -1, <em>y</em> = 1, and <em>z</em> = 1 to both plane equations to see this for yourself. We already found the parameterization for the intersection,

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩
