Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 (1 - 3x)

Distributive property

-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 - 12x

Combine like terms

-6x - 20 = -14x + 4

Add 14x to both sides

-6x - 20 + 14x = -14x + 4 + 14x

Simplifying

8x - 20 = 4

Add 20 to both sides

8x = 24

Divide both sides by 8

x = 3

A builder buys bricks at the rate of $4.50 per brick for the first 10, $3.50 per brick for the next 10, and $2.50 for any additi

iogann1982 [59]

If the first 10 bricks come out at $ 4.5, I would be spending $ 45. The other 10 bricks come out at $ 3.5 so he would be spending $ 35. Therefore, he has $ 20 available to buy bricks at $ 2.5, which would be buying 8 additional bricks. Thus, in total, with $ 100, 28 bricks were purchased.

Solve 2csc^2x-2cscx-1=0 <br> for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 csc²x-2 csc x-1=0

$\frac{2}{sin^2x} -\frac{2}{sin x} -1=0\\multiply~by~sin^2x\\2-2sin~x-sin^2x=0\\sin^2x+2sinx-2=0\\sin ~x=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{2^2-4*1*(-2)} }{2*1} \\=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{4+8} }{2} \\=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{4*3} }{2} \\=\frac{-2 \pm2\sqrt{3} }{2} \\=-1\pm\sqrt{3} \\|sin~x| \le ~1\\so~sin~x=-1+\sqrt{3} \\sin~x=\sqrt{3} -1\\x=sin^{-1}(\sqrt{3} -1) \approx 47.06^\circ,180-47.06\\or~x=47.06^\circ,132.94^\circ$
