Answer: D) x+4+x+4
The two x terms combine to x+x = 2x
The other pair of like terms, the constants, add to 4+4 = 8
Overall we get 2x+8
2x+8 is also equivalent to 2(x+4) when you factor out the GCF 2.
ANSWER
Each side of the chip is 5 centimeters long.
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The chip is in the form of a square.
The formula for finding the area of a square is
We were given in the question that, the area is 25 square centimeters. This means that,
We take the square root of both sides to get,
Hence the length of the square technology chip is 5 centimeters
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1
So we first need to find the slope of the reference line.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(-1--5)=5/4
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of:
5m/4=-1
m=-4/5
So our perpendicular line so far is:
y=-4x/5+b, now we can use point (3,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b"
-1=-4(3)/5+b
-1=-12/5+b
-5/5+12/5=b
7/5=b
So the line is:
y=-4x/5+7/5 or more neatly
y=(-4x+7)/5
y=-0.8x+1.4
