Help! problem:5-x=11+x

Mathematics
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]3 years ago
7 0
The answer is x=-3

5-x=11+x
-11  -11             First subtract 11
-6-x=x          
+x  +x                Now add x to both sides
-6=2x 
~2 ~2                 Finally divide by 2
-3=x                   Your answer is x=-3

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 112 m whose area is as large as possible. step 1 if a rectangle has dimensions
Veronika [31]


Please use the solution below:
Let P = perimeter, A = area
As provided above, a = xy and 
We know that the formula to solve for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2x + 2y. Using the given 112m, we can solve the perimeter using the formula:
112 = 2x + 2y
56 = x + y

x = 56-y or y = 56-x
Let's solve the perimeter in terms of y using the formula below:
A = (56-y)(y)
Find the derivative of A = 56-y^2 to get the value of y.
dA/dy = 56-2y = 0
y = 56/2
y = 28
To find X, substitute the value of y in the equation x = 56 - y. 
x = 56 - 28
Therefore, x = 28.
We can conclude that the figure is not a rectangle but a square.

What is the slope of line PQ?
Scilla [17]

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

<u>Part a) Find the slope of line PQ</u>

P(-8,2)\ Q(4,2)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{2-2}{4+8}

m=\frac{0}{12}=0

Any line parallel to X-axis has slope equal to zero

so

the line PQ is parallel to the x-axis

therefore

<u>the answer Part a) is </u>

0

<u>Part b) Find the slope of line MN</u>

M(8,6)\ N(8,-8)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-8-6}{8-8}

m=\frac{-14}{0}

Anything divided by zero is undefined

m=undefined

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is </u>

undefined

<u>Part c) How are the two lines related ? </u>

we know that

Any line perpendicular to X-axis has slope undefined

Because the term (x2-x1) will always be zero

so

<u>the answer Part c) is</u>

the lines are perpendicular

I need help with this math problem! Thanks!<br><br> -8 = -( x +4)
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.

To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.

-8 = -( x +4)

-8 = -1 ( x +4)       Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign

-8 = -x - 4            Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side

-8 +4  = -x -4 + 4        Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right

-4  = -x

-4  = -1x           <= -x is the same at -1x

-4/-1  = -x/-1     <=divide both sides by negative 1

4 = x

x = 4      <= usually we write the variable on the left side
