<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
Your fully factored expression should be 2*(8a+5).
We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
V = A · h
where:
A = surface area
h = height
Therefore, you can solve for A:
A = V / h
= 64 / h
Now, you need to ask yourself by how many numbers you can divide 64. The possible heights are 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1.
Hence:
A) there are 7 possible surface areas (one for each possible height).
B) the <span>maximum Area will be that of the box with the minimum height:
A = 64 / 1 = 64
C) the minimum Area will be that of the box with the maximum height:
A = 64 / 64 = 1</span>
Answer:
Solve the equation so it is in the y=mx+b form.
Step 1. 6x+9y = 216
Step 2. 9y = -6x+216
Step 3. y = -6/9x+24
Step 4. Simplify/Reduce to get y = -2/3x+24
Since it is Parallel then the slope is the same so the slope is -2/3x.
