5.5 = -2 + d

Mathematics

The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.

The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1

In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d

Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4

This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.

Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.

Since 2 is negative, you would want to add the 2 to each side. You want to cancel out the number so you leave d by itself, so it'll always be opposite of whatever the sign is.
5.5= -2 + d
+2  +2
7.5 = d
Hope this helped!

Which property refers to "regrouping" the terms in the expression 9 (2-x) = 18 - 9x ?
Aliun [14]
The answer is C- Distributive Property because you times everything in the bracket by the value connected to it:
9 times 2=18
9 times x = 9x
= 18 - 9x

HELP!

<u>Part A</u>

<u />4x^2 -7x-15=0\\\\(4x+5)(x-3)=0\\\\x=-\frac{5}{4}, 3

So, the x-intercepts are \boxed{\left(-\frac{5}{4}, 0 \right), (3,0)}

<u>Part B</u>

The vertex will be a minimum because the coefficient of x^2 is positive.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is x=-\frac{-7}{2(4)}=\frac{7}{8}

Substituting this back into the function, we get f\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)=4\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -7\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -15=-\frac{289}{16}

So, the coordinates of the vertex are \boxed{\left(\frac{7}{8}, -\frac{289}{16} \right)}

<u>Part C</u>

Plot the vertex and the x-intercepts and draw a parabola that passes through these three points.

The graph is shown in the attached image.
