Can Someone Please Explain Why X= -2! ASAP!!

Answers

Answer 1
Because you add both negative x’s which is -2 and add the -6 in the right side so then it’s -2x=4
Divide and you get x=-2
Answer 2

Answer:

  x = -2 because that is the value that makes the equation true

Step-by-step explanation:

Minus signs are everywhere. They can all be eliminated by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.

  -1(-x -6 -x) = -1(-2)

  (-1)(-x) +(-1)(-6) +(-1)(-x) = 2 . . . . . distribute the -1

  x + 6 + x = 2 . . . . . . . . simplify

  x + x + 6 = 2 . . . . . . . . rearrange

  (1 +1)x +6 = 2 . . . . . . . . factor, using the distributive property

  2x +6 = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  2x +6 -6 = 2 -6 . . . . . . subtract 6 from both sides

  2x = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  (2x)/2 = (-4)/2 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 2

  x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

x is -2 because that is the value we get when we apply the properties of equality to the equation. We can check to see if it works in the original equation.

Check

-x -6 -x = -2

-(-2) -6 -(-2) = -2 . . . . put -2 where x is

2 -6 +2 = -2 . . . . . . . . simplify the signs

-4 +2 = -2 . . . . . . . . . . add the first two terms (could do all at once)

-2 = -2 . . . . . . . . yes, the value of x=-2 makes the equation true

Additional comment

The properties of equality we're concerned with here are the multiplication property of equality, the addition property of equality and the division property of equality. Respectively, these tell us that multiplying, adding, or dividing both sides of the equation by the same number doesn't change the value of the variable.

These properties are essential to understanding how algebra works.

Answer:

The function that could be the function described is;

[tex]f(x) = -10 \cdot cos \left (\dfrac{2 \cdot \pi }{3} \cdot x \right ) + 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the cosine function are;

The period of the cosine function = 3

The maximum value of the cosine function = 20

The minimum value of the cosine function = 0

The general form of the cosine function is presented as follows;

y = A·cos(ω·x - ∅) + k

Where;

[tex]\left | A \right |[/tex] = The amplitude = Constant

The period, T = 2·π/ω

The phase shift, = ∅/ω

k = The vertical translation = Constant

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

T = 3 = 2·π/ω

∴ ω = 2·π/3

The range of value of the cosine of an angle are;

-1 ≤ cos(θ) ≤ 1

Therefore, when A = 10, cos(ω·x - ∅) = 1 (maximum value of cos(θ)) and k = 10, we have;

y = A × cos(ω·x - ∅) + k

y = 10 × 1 + 10 = 20 = The maximum value of the function

Similarly, when A = 10, cos(ω·x - ∅) = -1 (minimum value of cos(θ)) and k = 10, we get;

y = 10 × -1 + 10 = 0 = The minimum value of the function

Given that the function is a reflection of the parent function, we can have;

A = -10, cos(ω·x - ∅) = -1 (minimum value of cos(θ)) and k = 10, to get;

y = -10 × -1 + 10 = 20 = The maximum value of the function

Similarly, for cos(ω·x - ∅) = 1 we get;

y = -10 × 1 + 10 = 0 = The minimum value of the function

Therefore, the likely values of the function are therefore;

A = -10, k = 10

The function is therefore presented as follows;

y = -10 × cos(2·π/3·x) + 10

8(a + 30)=80 a equals how much?

Answers

Answer:

a = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you would solve for "a".

Solve:

8(a + 30)=80

Use the distributive property.

8a + 240 = 80

Subtract both sides by 240

8a = -160

Divide both sides by 8.

a = -20

Your final answer would be a = -20

Answer:

a=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 8 by a and 30 which is 8a and 240

The equation looks like this:

8a+240=80

Subtract 240 on both sides:

8a+240-240=80-240

The equation looks like this now:

8a=-160

Divide by 8 on both sides:

8a/8=-160/8

The answer will be:

a=-20

Combine like terms. Your answer should contain decimals. 0.5(x4 − 9) + 15 = Please in 10 mins please

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ ±2.1407

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(x⁴ - 9) + 15 = 0

Distribute the 0.5 across the parentheses.

0.5x⁴ - 4.5 + 15 = 0

Combine the constants.

0.5x⁴ + 10.5 = 0

Subtract 10.5 from both sides.

0.5x⁴ = -10.5

Divide both sides by 0.5.

x⁴ = 21

Take the fourth root of 21.

⁴√21 ≈ ±2.1407

x ≈ ±2.1407


Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths 3.5 3.5, and 9? If so, will it be scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Or none

Answers

Answer:

It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene Triangle - All 3 sides have different lengths.

Isosceles Triangle - 2 sides have equal lengths.

Equilateral Triangle - All 3 sides have equal lengths.

You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!

The given side lengths, 3.5 3.5, and 9, cannot form a triangle.

The Triangle Inequality TheoremThe triangle inequality theorem states that for any triangle, the sum of any two of its side must be greater than the length of the third side.

Given the side lengths, 3.5 3.5, and 9:

3.5 + 3.5 (7) is not greater than 9

Thus, we can conclude that the given side lengths, 3.5 3.5, and 9, cannot form a triangle.

How come this person didn’t divide EVERYTHING on the left by 2? I thought you had to...

Answers

The short answer is that algebra doesn't work that way. You wouldn't divide *everything* by 2, but every term that contains a factor of 2.

In the expression

2 (6x - 1) + 2 (2x + 5)

both terms have a factor of 2 (the 2 out in front of them). They're the ones that get canceled when dividing by 2:

(2 (6x - 1) + 2 (2x + 5)) / 2 = 2/2 (6x - 1) + 2/2 (2x - 5)

… = 1 (6x - 1) + 1 (2x - 5)

… = (6x - 1) + (2x - 5)

and so on.

Looking ahead, it turns out that the equation is solved by x = 7. This makes 6x - 1 = 41 and 2x + 5 = 19. So the equation is saying that, if you make these replacements,

2×41 + 2×19 = 120

If you divide *everything* on the left by 2, you end up with fractions:

(2/2)×(41/2) + (2/2)×(19/2) = 41/2 + 19/2

but 41 + 19 = 60, so the end result would be 30, but that's not the same as 120/2 = 60.
