A) -9

-7(x+9)=9(x-5)-14x
-7x-63=9x-45-14x
-45 -45
-7x-18=9x-14x
+7x +7x
-18=9x+7x-14x
-18=2x
(-18)/2=(2x)/2
-9=x

-7(x + 9) = 9(x - 5) - 14x → Given
-7x - 63 = 9x - 45 - 14x → Distributive Property
-7x - 63 = -5x - 45 → Combine like terms (9x and -14x)
-12x - 63 = -45 → Addition property of equality (-7x and -5x)
-12x = 18 → Addition property of equality (Add 63 to both sides)
x = -³/₂ or -1 ¹/₂ or -1.5

Hope it helps.

Find an equation of the plane passing through (0 comma negative 4 comma 1 )(0,−4,1) that is orthogonal to the planes 55xplus+33y
meriva

Answer:

26x + 15y + 35*z = -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the planes:

5x + 3y -5z = 0

-5x + 4y + 2z = 9

First we have to find the cross product of the normal vectors of these planes:

<5, 3, -5> x <-5, 4, 2> = <3*2 - 4*(-5), -[5*2 - (-5)*(-5)], 5*4 - (-5)*3> =

<26, 15, 35>

Then substitute these and the point (0, -4, 1) into the standard plane equation:

ax + by + cz = d

26*0 + 15*(-4) + 35*1 = d

-25 = d

A skyscraper is 1,150 feet above ground level. It extends 35 feet below ground level. What is the total length of the skyscraper
Ne4ueva [31]
1,150ft + 35ft = 1,185ft

The reason you wouldnt subtract would be that you cant have negative 35 ft. You add the two heights together to produce your answer.

Use the function f(x) = 4x² - 7x - 15 to answer the questions.
makkiz [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

4x² - 7x - 15

a, b, c = 4, -7, -15

ac = -60

factors that add up to -7 and multiply to -60 are (-12, 5)

rewrite equation

(4x² - 12x) + (5x - 15)

factor out GCF from both groups

4x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3)

(4x+5)(x-3)

Part B:

Using the factored form from the previous part we can set both factors equal to 0 to solve for x.

4x+5 = 0

4x = -5

x = -5/4

x-3 = 0

x = 3

the two x-intercepts are -5/4 and 3

Part C:

Since the leading coefficient is positive, the right side of the function will be going up or to positive infinity as x goes towards positive infinity. Since the degree is even both sides go in the same direction so on the left side it also goes towards positive infinity as x goes towards negative infinity.
