To solve for x:
Move all the terms containing "x" to the left side of the equation. Do this by adding x to both sides.
2x+x=3x. The new equation is:
3x-1/2=3
Now, move all terms not containing "x" to the right side of the equation. Do this by adding 1/2 to both sides.
3x=3+1/2 The new equation is:
3x=3 1/2, or 3.5
The final step is to isolate x. To do so, divide each side by 3.
3x/3 = 3 1/2 /3 The new equation is:
x=1 1/6
Answer:
The equation of the line AB is y - x -4 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The points are A (10,14) and B(2,6)
Now, slope of the line AB : 
or,
=
So, slope of the equation AB = 1
Now, by SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM:
The equation of line is given as : y - y0 = m (x-x0)
So,the equation of line AB is y - 6 = 1(x-2)
or, y - 6 -x + 2 = 0
or, y - x -4 = 0
Hence, the equation of the line AB is y - x -4 = 0
16 x 3/8 so 16/1 x 3/8 = 48/8. 48 divided by 8 is 6. So 6 inches.
The answer is 4 hope this helps
