So you first want to move all variables to one side.
2x = 1/8 + 4x
So perform the opposite of each operation to move it.
2x - 4x = 1/8 + 4x - 4x
-2x = 1/8
And then just divide both sides by -2
-2x / -2 = 1/8 / -2
x = -1/16
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can answer this question by using the equation
(8+x)(7+x)=110
The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.
If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0
This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0
This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.
I'm pretty sure it would be <span>x - y + 1 = 0 because if you plug in one of the coordinates into each equation, this is the only one that works.
</span><span>y - x + 1 = 0
2 - 1 + 1 = 0
2 = 0 not correct
</span><span>x - y + 1 = 0
1 - 2 + 1 = 0
0 = 0 correct
</span><span>-x - y + 1 = 0
-1 - 2 + 1 = 0
-2 = 0 not correct
</span>
The error to that problem is the person switched the x and y points, like in point A, it’s supposed to be (x,y) or (1,5). The person put the y in front of the x while writing the points.
