Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

−2(x − 3) = 4

$[ \ Simplify \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation \ ]$

−2(x − 3) = 4

(−2)(x) + (−2)(−3) = 4 $[ \ Distribute \ ]$

−2x + 6 = 4

$[ \ Subtract \ 6 \ from \ both \ sides \ ]$

−2x + 6 − 6 = 4 − 6

−2x = −2

$[ \ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ -2 \ ]$

-2x / -2 = -2 / -2

x = 1

Two cars start from the same point driving in opposite directions. Both cars drive 6miles. One car stops, the other car makes a

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<u>14.4 mile</u>²

Explanation:

1. By driving 6 miles each, the cars will be 6 miles + 6 miles = 12 miles appart.

2. When one car stops and the other car makes a 90° left-hand turn and drive 8 miles, you can model the situation with a right triangle, where one leg is 12 miles, the other leg is 8 miles, and the hypotenuse is the distance that separates the cars.

Hence, you must use Pythagoras to find that distance.

3. Pythagoras

hypotenuse² = leg₁² + leg₂²

hypotenuse = (12 mile)² + (8 mile)² = 144 mile² + 64 mile² = 208 mile²

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{208mile^2}=14.4mile^2$ , which is rounded to the neartest tenth of a mile.

Help me please ;-;!!!!! Use a coordinate grid to create a map of a town with at least five different locations, such as a house,

Sholpan [36]

A. Our diagram have six location: my house (2,1), a movie theater (5,3), the school (6,6), the police station (3,-2), the airport (-3,3), and the mall (-2,-3)

B. Distance between my house and the movie theater:
To calculate the distance we are going to use the points (2,1) and (5,3) to create a right triangle with tow legs of measures 3 and 2; the hypotenuse of the right triangle will be the distance between my house and the movie theater.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
$d^2=3^2+2^2$
$d^2=9+4$
$d^2=13$
$d= \sqrt{13}$
We can conclude that the distance between my house and the movie theater is $\sqrt{13}$

Our second distance is the distance between the police station and the airport:
This time we are using the points (3,-2) and (-3,3) to create a right triangle with legs of measures 6 and 5; the hypotenuse of our triangle will be the the distance between our points:
$d^2=6^2+5^2$
$d^2=36+25$
$d^2=61$
$d= \sqrt{61}$
We can conclude that the distance between the police station and the airport is $\sqrt{61}$

C. Distance form the park to the Fire Station:
$d^2=3^2+1^2$
$d^2=9+1$
$d^2=10$
$d= \sqrt{10}$
We can conclude that the distance from the park to the Fire Station is $\sqrt{10}$

Distance from the stadium to the mall:
$d^2=2^2+1^2$
$d^2=4+1$
$d^2=5$
$d= \sqrt{5}$
We can conclude that the distance from the stadium to the mall is $\sqrt{5}$

D. What is the distance between your house and the mall?
Answer:
$d^2=4^2+4^2$
$d^2=16+16$
$d^2=32$
$d= \sqrt{32}$
$d=4 \sqrt{2}$
We can conclude that the distance between my house and the mall is $4 \sqrt{2}$

What is the distance between the movie theater and the school?
answer:
$d^2=3^2+1^2$
$d^2=9+1$
$d^2=10$
$d= \sqrt{10}$
We can conclude that the distance between the movie theater and the school is $\sqrt{10}$

Write a function t(I) that determines the number of

forsale [732]

Using the table, we will see that the function is:

t(l) = 3*l

<h3>How to write the function?</h3>

Here we only have a table to work with, so we need to use that.

In the table, we can see the pairs:

t(1) = 3
t(2) = 6
t(3) = 9
t(4) = 12

So, in each new level, we just add 3 more toothpicks. Even more, we can see that the number of toothpicks is 3 times the value of l (the level) for all the cases in the table. So this is a linear function.

From that we can conclude that the function will be:

t(l) = 3*l
