Uhhhh I don't think that the correct answer.
First, find the gradient of the line segment.
Gradient = Rise/Run = (2-6)/(2-5) = 4/3.
Since the other line segment is parallel to this line segment, their gradients are the same.
That means (-2+4)/(x-5) = 4/3.
2/(x-5) = 4/3
It is obvious x = 6.5

mestny [16]

Answer:

120 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

24 minutes / 2 miles = 12 minutes / 1 mile

12 minutes / 1 miles = x minutes / 10 miles

Cross multiply

12*10/1 = x

120 / 1 = x

x = 120

Given that f(x) = 5x^2-3x+7 and f(g(x))=(5x^4)/9 + (17x^2)/3 + 21. Find all possible values for the sum of the coefficients in t
shtirl [24]

steps

(x) = 5x^2-3x+7

refine

x=5x^2-3x+7

Switch sides

5x^2-3x+7-x=x-x

Subtract x from both sides

5x^2-4x+7=0

Solve with the quadratic formula
