Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation.

4x + -3 = 5x + 3

The isolate x in the equation. Add -4x to both sides.

4x + -3 + -4x = 5x + 3 + -4x

-3 = x + 3

Then add -3 to both sides.

-3 + -3 = x + 3 + -3

-6 = x

Now you have the value of x = -6.

Cheers.

What are the coordinates of the triangle after a dilation with a scale factor of 2? Center it at (2, 2) .

Elodia [21]

Dilation of a point P(x,y) with scale factor s centred at (p,q) is given by
P'=(p+s*(x-p),q+s*(x-q))

Substituting
s=2, p=2,q=2
P'=(2+2*(x-2),2+2*(y-2))

P P'
(2,4) (2+2(2-2), 2+2*(4-2)) = (2, 6)
(0,6) (2+2(0-2), 2+2*(6-2)) = (-2, 10)
(-3,3) (2+2(-3-2), 2+2*(3-2)) = (-8, 4)

A student earns a 98 on a test for answering one question incorrectly and earns a 90 for answering five questions incorrectly. I

Aleksandr [31]

This can be solved by solving the slope of the line. First let y be the rating of the test and x be the number of incorrect answers. Slope can be solved using the formula:

M = ( y2 – y1 ) / ( x2 – x1)

M = ( 90 – 98) / ( 5 -1 )

M = -2

<span>So the model has a negative slope</span>
