Geometry question. “Find the value of x that will make A||B.” Brainliest to whoever is correct

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. They are supplementary.

2x + 50 + 5x - 80 = 180             Combine like terms

7x - 30 = 180                              Add 30 to both sides

7x = 210                                     Divide by 7 on both sides

x = 210/7

x = 30

Which best describes the meaning of the statement "If A and B ? i dont understand this
A. If A is false then B must be false
B. If A is true then B must be true
C. If A is false , then B must be false
D. if A is true then B might be true

Answers

Was your original statement “If A, then B”?

If so, this means “if you know A is true, then you know B is true.” (Answer: B)

Example: “If (you’re a dog), then (you’re a mammal).”

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then perimeter

2(- 2x - 6) + 2(4x + 4) = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

- 4x - 12 + 8x + 8 = 16

4x - 4 = 16 ( add 4 to both sides )

4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if [tex](x-4)[/tex] and [tex](y+3)[/tex] vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of [tex]x-4[/tex] and [tex]y+3[/tex].

Let [tex]x=8[/tex] and [tex]y=2[/tex] as given in the problem. Substitute values:

[tex](8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20[/tex]

Hence, the maintained product is [tex]20[/tex].

Thus, we have the following equation:

[tex](x-4)(y+3)=20[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y=-1[/tex] to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] when [tex]y=-1[/tex]:

[tex](x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}[/tex]

4 – 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 5)

Answers

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 – 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 5)

Distribute

4 - 2x-14 = 3x+15

Combine like terms

-2x-10 = 3x+15

Add 2x to each side

-2x-10 +2x= 3x+15+2x

-10 = 5x+15

Subtract 15 from each side

-10-15 = 5x+15-15

-25 = 5x

Divide by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

-5 =x

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 5)

so, let's do the multiplications. remember, when two terms are multiplied, then everything of the left is multiplied with everything on the right. and a "-" flips signs.

2(x + 7) = 2x + 14

3(x + 5) = 3x + 15

so, in total

4 - 2x - 14 = 3x + 15

now, we add combinable things together, and we can also move things from one side of the equation to the other (by adding our subtracting the same thing on both sides, so that the value of the expression remains unchanged).

-2x - 10 = 3x + 15

-25 = 5x

and now, what applied to adding and subtracting also aims to multiplication and division. again, it is important to do the same thing to both sides.

-5 = x

Divide both sides by 2²ˣ

Substitute (3/2)ˣ = t

t² - t - 1 = 0

Solve for t:

t = (1  ± √5)/2

Positive root is considered as (3/2)ˣ can't be negative.

(3/2)ˣ = (1 + √5)/2x = log [(1 + √5)/2] / log (3/2)x = 1.18681439028

Hi ;-)

-4 ≤ 2x - 6 ≤ 12

2x - 6 ≥ -4  / + 6

2x ≥ 2  / : 2

x ≥ 1

2x - 6 ≤ 12  / + 6

2x ≤ 18  / : 2

x ≤ 9

1 ≤ x ≤ 9
Treat this as any other inequality and focus on getting the x by itself.

First add 6 to everything to eliminate the -6 in the middle:
-4 + 6 ≤ 2x-6 + 6 ≤ 12 + 6

- 2 ≤ 2x < 18

Then divide everything by 2 to get the 2 off the 2x.
