X=4. If k is the midpoint then JK is equal to KL. Since JK is 7 then KL is also 7 meaning JK is 14. JK is represented by the expression 4x-2 so you just set that expression equal to 14 and solve for x. Hope this helped!
Answer:
first, subtract 17 on both sides: x²+2x-16=0
this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
b²-4ac=2²-4(10(-16)=4+64=68
√68=2√17
so x=(-2+2√17)/2 or x=(-2-2√17)/2
x=-1+√17 or x=-1-√17
Step-by-step explanation:
and
(f+g)(x) =
combining like terms gives you answer choice B
Answer:
x = 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You could simplify the given equation first, then solve the resulting 2-step linear equation. It might work better to undo the operations done to the variable.
<h3>Solution</h3>
(5 1/6 -x)(2.7) -5 3/4 = -1 1/4 . . . . . given
(5 1/6) -x)(2.7) = 4 1/2 . . . . . . . add 5 3/4 to both sides
(5 1/6 -x) = 4.5/2.7 = 5/3 . . . divide by 2.7
31/6 -10/6 = x . . . . . . . . . . add x-5/3, use common denominators
21/6 = x = 7/2
x = 3 1/2
