HELP ME PLEASE Solve for x: -6 – 5x = 29

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (&Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

~

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation:

-5x - 6 = 29

-5x - 6  (+6) = 29 (+6)

-5x = 29 + 6

-5x = 35

Next, divide -5 from both sides of the equation:
(-5x)/-5 = (35)/-5

x = 35/-5

x = -7

-7 is your answer for x.

The hypotenuse of a triangle measures 12 inches, and the measure of one of the acute angles is two less than three times the mea
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

26 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = measure of one acute angle

3x - 2 = measure of other acute angle

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the sum of the measures of the acute angles is 90

x + 3x - 2 = 90

4x - 2 = 90

4x = 92

x = 23

90 - 23 = 67

The acute angles are 23° and 67°

Now, let a = length of side opposite the 23° angle

sin 23 = a/12

a = 12 sin 23

Let b = length of the side opposite the 67° angle

sin 67 = b/12

b = 12 sin 67

Area = 1/2ab = 1/2(12 sin 23°)(12 sin 67°)

                     = 25.90

26 sq in to the nearest inch

Wow!  That is quite the problem.
