What is the value of x in the equation 4x - 2(x + 3) = 8?
A x = 1
B. X = 2.5
C x = 3.5
D. x = 7

Answers

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4x - 2(x + 3) = 8. We need to find the value of x. The steps are as follows :

Firstly opening the bracket on the LHS,

4x -2x-6 = 8

Adding like terms together. So,

2x = 8+6

2x = 14

x = 7

So, the value of x is 7. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Solve the given inequality.
4.2x > 6.3

Answers

Answer:

x > 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the inequality.

[tex]4.2x > 6.3[/tex]

x is being multiplied by 4.2 The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 4.2

[tex]\frac{4.2x}{4.2} >\frac{6.3}{4.2}[/tex]

[tex]x> \frac{6.3}{4.2}[/tex]

[tex]x> 1.5[/tex]

The solution to the inequality 4.2x > 6.3 is x>1.5

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x>1\dfrac{1}{2}\to x\in\left(1\dfrac{1}{2},\ \infty\right)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4.2x>6.3\qquad/\text{divide both sides by 4.2}\\\\\dfrac{4.2x}{4.2}>\dfrac{6.3}{4.2}\\\\x>\dfrac{6.3\cdot10}{4.2\cdot10}\\\\x>\dfrac{63:21}{42:21}\\\\x>\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\x>1\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

∠A and \angle B∠B are vertical angles. If m\angle A=(5x+5)^{\circ}∠A=(5x+5)

and m\angle B=(4x+29)^{\circ}∠B=(4x+29)

, then find the measure of \angle A∠A.

Answers

If A and B are vertical angles, then they are congruent, so their measures are equal.

This means

(5x + 5)º = (4x + 29)º

5x + 5 = 4x + 29

x = 24

Then angle A has measure (5*24 + 5)º = 125º.

m<A = 115

Assume that y varies directly with x, then solve.
if y=-6.6 when x=9.9, find y when x=6.6​

Answers

Answer:

y = - 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that t varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 6.6 when x = 9.9 , that is

- 6.6 = 9.9k ( divide both sides by 9.9 )

k = [tex]\frac{-6.6}{9.9}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] k ← equation of variation

When x = 6.6, then

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × 6.6 = - 2 × 2.2 = - 4.4

Subtract 8 from both sides:

[tex]3x=4x-2[/tex]

Subtract 4x from both sides:

Each of a regular polygon is 140°,find the number of the sides that ghe polygon has​

Answers

Answer:

the answer should be 360/36=10 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon is 144 deg the exterior angle is 36 deg.

Answer:

9 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal angles of the regular polygon have a property, sum of interior angles is equal to:

sum = (n-2)*180°

n sides each interior angle equal to 140°, then

sum = 140°n

Comparing the two equations:

(n-2)*180= 140n180n - 360 = 140n40n = 360n = 360/40n = 9

The polygon has 9 sides
