Answer:

x = - 2, x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10 x = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² - 10x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2, since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10, thus

(x - 12)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe the answer is transative property. I'm currently taking the test so I'm not 100% sure if I'm right yet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step one, AGE and HGB are verticle angles since they are opposite of each other. then step two is alternate interior angles because they are interior angles opposite of each other, self-explanatory. the reason I choose the transitive property over the corresponding angles theorem is because the transitive property states: among A B and C, if A=B and B=c then A=C and in this case since AGE=HGB andHGB=CHE then AGE=CHE. I hope this helps and if you know the right answer just put it in the comments, if I'm wrong ofc.

How to do literal equations?

mixer [17]

See examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

10. Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5),

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5), X(6, 1.5), Y(6, -4.5), and Z(-1.5, -4.5).

Find the slopes of all sides:

$WX:\ \dfrac{1.5-1.5}{6-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{0}{7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$XY:\ \dfrac{-4.5-1.5}{6-6}=\dfrac{-6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

$YZ:\ \dfrac{-4.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-6}=\dfrac{0}{-7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$ZW:\ \dfrac{1.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular, so all angles W, X, Y and Z are right angles. Hence, quadrilateral WXYZ is a rectangle
