Answer:
x=2.116
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x=x-6
4.58-4x-x=-6
-5x=-6-4.58
-5x=-10.58
x=2.116
Answer: Choice A
x+3y = 14
======================================================
Explanation:
The general template for standard form is Ax+By = C, where A,B,C are integers.
This immediately rules out choices C and D, since they don't fit the format mentioned.
To see which of A or B we can eliminate or confirm, plug (x,y) coordinates from the graph into each answer choice. The ultimate goal is to get a true statement.
For example, the graph shows that (x,y) = (2,4) is on the line. Plug this into choice A to get...
x+3y = 14
2+3(4) = 14
2+12 = 14
14 = 14 this is true
So far so good. The point (2,4) is on the line x+3y = 14. Repeat those steps for (-1, 5) and you should get another true result. So that would confirm choice A is the answer. You only need a minimum of two points to define a unique line, meaning we only need to verify two points on the line. Anything more is just extra busy work.
---------
If we tried (2,4) with choice B, then,
5x+3y = 14
5(2)+3(4) = 14
10+12 = 14
22 = 14 which is false
This indicates (2,4) is not on the line 5x+3y = 14. We can rule out choice B because of this.

Answer:
The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diver hits the water when y = 0.
To find the distance, we have to find the values of x when y = 0.
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:



In this problem, we have that:


So

Then



It is a horizontal distance, so the answer is a positive value.
The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.
