Since you know that point Y and point Z are equal distance form point F, you will need to know the distance between point Y, -1, and the distance between point X, -7. So, the total distance, after subtracting -1 from -7, is -6. So, you will then subtract another -6 from -7, to get -13, which is the coordinate of point Z.
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(1.5x + 9) = 0
Reorder the terms:
3(9 + 1.5x) = 0
(9 * 3 + 1.5x * 3) = 0
(27 + 4.5x) = 0
Solving
27 + 4.5x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-27' to each side of the equation.
27 + -27 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0
0 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 0 + -27 = -27
4.5x = -27
Divide each side by '4.5'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6
