Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We could solve for c and see what the value of c should be to satisfy this equation.

However, in this case we are given a value for c already i.e. c=25 and all we need to do is plug it into the equation and see if it is consistent i.e. if the value on the LHS equals the value of RHS for that specific value of c

Using the value of c = 25 and plugging it into the LHS of the equation we have $\frac{1}{2} (25-13) =\frac{12}{2} = 6$

Doing the same with the RHS gives us 19-25 = -6

6 ≠ -6 (6 not equal to -6)

So Lance's solution of c = 25 is incorrect

If you actually wanted to solve for the correct value of c, proceed as follows
Multiply by 2 on both sides of the equation
$\frac{1}{2} (c-13) = 19 -2c\\\\\\text{This gives us } \\c-13 = 38-2c\\$

Adding 2c to both sides and adding 13 to both sides (or, in other words moving -2c to the LHS and -13 to the RHS) gives us

c- (-2c) = 38 - (-13)

3c = 51

c = 17

Check this is correct by plugging it into the original equation and seeing that the LHS = RHS = 2

Vita wants to center a towel bar on her door that is 27 1/2 inches wide. She determines that the distance from each end of the t

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The equation is $x+18 =\frac{55}{2}$ ..

The length of the towel bar is $\frac{19}{2}\ in \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 9\frac{1}{2}\ in$ ..

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of the door = $27\frac{1}{2}\ in$

we can rewrite $27\frac{1}{2}\ in$ as $\frac{55}{2}\ in$ .

We have to find out the length of the towel bar.

Let the length of towel bar be 'x'

`Since Vita wants that the distance from each end of the towel bar to the end of the door to be 9 inches.

So we can say that the length of the towel bar plus from each end of the towel bar to the end of the door plus from each end of the towel bar to the end of the door is equal to length of door.

framing in equation form, we get;

$x+9+9= \frac{55}{2}\\\\x+18 =\frac{55}{2}$

Hence The equation is $x+18 =\frac{55}{2}$ .

Now we solve the equation we get;

Subtracting both side by 18 we get;

$x+18-18=\frac{55}{2}-18\\\\x=\frac{55}{2}-18$

Now we will make the denominator common we get;

$x=\frac{55}{2} -\frac{18\times2}2= \frac{55}{2} -\frac{36}2 = \frac{55-36}{2}=\frac{19}{2}\ in \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 9\frac{1}{2}\ in$

Hence The length of the towel bar is $\frac{19}{2}\ in \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 9\frac{1}{2}\ in$ .

Which expression is equivalent to -6 - ( -2 )<br><br><br> plz help!

levacccp [35]

As we can see here any negative number subtracting another negative number leads to adding. So we would have -6+2 which would be -4. So therefore your answer is -4

Find the x-intercepts (solve for x) for the following AND PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK! y=−2x^2−9x+5

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts set y = 0, that is

- 2x² - 9x + 5 = 0

To factorise the quadratic consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term that sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = - 2 × 5 = - 10 and sum = - 9

The factors are - 10 and + 1

Use these factors to split the middle term

- 2x² - 10x + x + 5 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

- 2x(x + 5) + 1(x + 5) ( factor out (x + 5) )

(x + 5)(- 2x + 1) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

- 2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{2}$

x-intercepts are x = - 5 and x = $\frac{1}{2}$
