Step-by-step explanation:
18+ 5(2x + 5) = 12
18 + 10x + 25 = 12
43 + 10x = 12
10x = 12 -43
10x = -31
x = -3.1
Answer:
x = 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area of the given polygon = Area of triangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of triangle 3
Area of triangle 1 = Area of triangle 3 = 
= 
= 4x square feet
Area of rectangle 2 = Length × Width
= 16 × 8
= 128 square feet
Total area of the given polygon = 4x + 128 + 4x
176 = 8x + 128
8x = 176 - 128
x =
x = 6 ft
Answer:
260.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph intersects the x-axis twice. It intersects at the points of (-1,0) and (2.5,0). The graph is attached.
In your situation you said that
Putting those together, you'd have
because
.
To evaluate the difference quotient, first find each piece on it's own:
because
no matter what your x-value is.
So putting those together:

Remember that the difference quotient is basically finding the slope of something. Since you were given that the slope is 0, the difference quotient should work out to match that.
