This is quiet simple. i like to use a method my math teacher calls "plug and chug". we know that y= 4x +2
some people call this the substitution method but it has the same concept. now that we know what y equals, we plug it into teh equation:
(4x+2) -x=17
then we "chug it":
4x+2-x=17
then we have to isolate x. add the x's:
5x+2=17
in order to isolate x subtract 2 from both sides:
5x=15
now to isolate again divide both sides with 5:
x=3
so x is 3. bow we plug that into what y is;
y=4 (3) +2
y=14
so:
x=3
y=14
(to double check plug and chug into the first question . if x and y are correct, you will get 17)
Answer:
- the triangle must be assumed to be a right triangle
- AB = 148.4 yards
- segment AB is shorter than the curved path
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part 1</u>: The main assumption required is the one required to use the hint. The triangle must be assumed to be a right triangle.
__
<u>Part 2</u>: The approximate distance AB is the hypotenuse of the assumed right triangle, so will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. For distances in yards, ...
AB² = 80² +125² = 22025
AB = √22025 ≈ 148.4 . . . . . yards
The approximate length across the pond is 148.4 yards.
__
<u>Part 3</u>: A straight line is the shortest path between two points. Segment AB is a straight line path, so the length of segment AB will be shorter than any curved path between A and B.
The answer is a as the definition of an angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
cannot be factorised in the form (x+b)(x-b) unless one of the b's is zero, so I wonder if the expression is incomplete?
To factorise
, take out the common factor
:

Therefore, x = 0 and x = 4
- - - - - - - - -
factorised in the form (x+b)(x-b) would be 
but it is not usual to have a zero in a factorised form.
