Answer:

t = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of randomly guessing values of "t" that will satisfy the equation, you can easily find the correct value by solving the equation in terms of "t". In other words, you can set the equation equal to "t" to find the final answer.

(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation

(-2/3)t = -1 <----- Add 2 to both sides

t = 3/2 <----- Divide both sides by -2/3

You can check this value by plugging it into "t" and determining whether both sides of the equations will be equal.

(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation

(-2/3)(3/2) - 2 = -3 <----- Plug 3/2 into "t"

-6/6 - 2 = -3 <----- Multiply -2/3 and 3/2

-1 - 2 = -3 <----- Simplify -6/6

-3 = -3 <----- Subtract

kvasek [131]

Answer:

x² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x)

= f(x) - g(x)

= 2x² + 1 - (x² - 7)

= 2x² + 1 - x² + 7 ← collect like terms

= x² + 8

Square ABCD is located on a coordinate plane. The coordinates for three of the vertices are listed below.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

B'(16,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the coordinates of the vertex B. The center of the square M is the midpoint of the diagonal AC. Since A(2,7) and C(8,1), the center has coordinates

$M\left(\dfrac{2+8}{2},\dfrac{7+1}{2}\right)=M(5,4).$

Point M is also the midpoint of the diagonal BD. Let B has coordinates (x,y), then

$\dfrac{x+2}{2}=5\Rightarrow x=8,\\ \\\dfrac{y+1}{2}=4\Rightarrow y=7.$

Hence, B(8,7).

Now, the dilation by a scale factor 2 with the center of dilation at the origin has the rule

(x,y)→(2x,2y).

Thus,

B(8,7)→B'(16,14).
