Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+2+5=15x-8

Combine like terms

9x +7 = 15x -8

Subtract 9x from each side

9x+7 -9x=15x-8-9x

7 = 6x -8

Add 8 to each side

7+8 = 6x-8+8

15 = 6x

Divide by each side

15/6 = 6x/6

5/2 = x

In rectangle MNOP, MO = 4x - 10 and NP = 2x + 4.<br> What is the length of a diagonal?
slega [8]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the rectangle, M O = NP

4x - 10 = 2x+4

4x-2x = 4 + 10

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

SInce MO and NP are the diagonal

Length of diagonal = 4x- 10

Length of diagonal = 4(7) - 10

Length of diagonal = 28 - 10

Length of diagonal = 18

hence the required length is 18

do you think that a negative sign affects whether or not a number is rational number? Use -8/5 an example.
lina2011 [118]

-8/5 is a rational number because in order to be a rational number it must be able to be written as a fraction. -8/5 is a fraction; therefore, the negative does not affect it.

Someone please answer and explain this!!! They are asking which is the graph of function f, and if it’s not one of the graphs th
Dvinal [7]
Check the picture below.

the piecewise function, has two subfunctions or behaviours, one if x < 1, meaning less, not equals, but less than 1, so it doesn't include one, so it has a "hole" on that endpoint.

and the second behaviour of the piecewise is if x ⩾ 1, larger or equals than 1, so it includes 1, so it has a solid ball on that endpoint.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 possibilities for the graph as shown in the figure.

(a) having zero intersection

(b) having one intersection point (touching point)

(c) having two intersection points.

So, the greatest possible number of intersections for these graphs is 2 as shown in figure (c).
