Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the right side of the equation and simplify:

9x -4 -6x -2(x +1) +5 = 0

9x -6x -2x -4 -2 +5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

x -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

_____

<em>Check</em>

Substitute the value of x where x is found in the equation.

9·1 -4 -6·1 = 2(1 +1) -5

9 - 4 - 6 = 2·2 -5

-1 = 4 -5 . . . . . true. The answer checks OK.

A traingular prism has a base area of 12 cm and a height of<br> 4 cm. What is the volume?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

48 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

For all prisms, the volume is just base area x height- and the calculations for base area depend on the type of prism. Since it's already given, the calculation is simple.

V = 12 cm² x 4 cm

= 48 cm³

I hope this helps!

The coordinates of three of the vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(1, 0), B(2, 3), C(3, 2). What are coordinates of the fourth

nalin [4]

Answer:

A) The coordinates of the fourth vertex are:

1) x-coordinate:

$x=2$

2) y-coordinate:

$y=-1$

B) The point of intersection of the diagonals is: $(2,1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other at a half-way point and the midpoint of each diagonal is the same.

The midpoint formula is:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Since:

$M_{AC}=M_{BD}$

We can find the coordinates of the fourth vertex $D(x,y)$ through these procedure:

1) x-coordinate:

$\frac{1+3}{2}=\frac{2+x}{2}\\\\2(2)=x\\\\4-2=x\\\\x=2$

2) y-coordinate:

$\frac{0+2}{2}=\frac{3+y}{2}\\\\1(2)-3=y\\\\y=-1$

Therefore, fourth vertex is $D(2,-1)$

Since the point of intersection of the diagonals is the midpoint of a diagonal (Remember that $M_{AC}=M_{BD}$ ), this is:

$M_{AC}=M_{BD}=(\frac{1+3}{2},\frac{0+2}{2})\\\\M_{AC}=M_{BD}=(2,1)$

Therefore, the point of intersection of the diagonals is $(2,1)$
