Multiply the first bracket by 6.
Multiply the second bracket by 8
6(x+1)-5x= 8+2(x-1)
6(x)+6(1)-5x= 8+2(x)+2(-1)
6x+6-5x= 8+2x-2
6x-5x+6= 8-2+2x
x+6= 6+2x
Move +2x to the other side. Sign changes from +2x to -2x.
x-2x+6= 6+2x-2x
-x+6= 6
Move +6 to the other side. Sign changes from +6 to -6.
-x+6-6= 6-6
-x=0
Multiply by -1 for -x and 0
-x(-1)= 0(-1)
x= 0
Answer: x= 0
Answer:
A. Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope (m) or rate of growth in Plant 1 is;
m = Change in y ÷ change in x
m = 
= 2
The linear equation of growth in Plant 1 is;
= 2
y = 2x + 1.5
The equation of growth in Plant 2 is; y = 1.5x + 3 (slope of 1.5)
Since the slope in growth of Plant 1 is greater than that in Plant 2, it implies then that Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are all similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.
__
<h3>x</h3>
long side/short side = x/6 = 12/x
x² = 72 . . . . . . . multiply by 6x
x = 6√2 . . . . . . take the square root
__
<h3>y</h3>
hypotenuse/long side = y/12 = (12+6)/y
y² = 216 . . . . . multiply by 12y
y = 6√6 . . . . . take the square root
