-1/4 (x-12)+1/2(x+2)=4+x

Simplify the equation.

-1/4x + 3 + 1/2x + 1 = 4 + x

Add like terms.

(-1/4x+1/2x) + (3+1) = 4 + x

(1/4x) + (4) = 4 + x

Move (x) onto the left side of the equal sign, and move (4) to the right side.

So, you're basically subtracting 4 from both sides, as well as subtracting x from both sides.

1/4x - x = 4 - 4

-3/4x = 0

x = 0

To check our work:

Plug in (0) for (x)

-1/4 (0 - 12) + 1/2 (0+2) = 4+ 0

-1/4 (-12) + 0 + 1 = 4

3+1=4

4=4

So, your answer is x=0

~Hope I helped!~

Point m is the midpoint of line segment ab, b is at (20,4), m is at (18, -2) and a is at (p,q). what is p+q?
Alexandra [31]
The x-value of a midpoint is the average of the x-values of the ends.
The y-value of a midpoint is the average of the y-values of the ends.

The x-value of the end at b is 20 and it's 18 at the middle.
x has decreased by 2 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 2 during the other half of the line.
The x-value at the other end, at a, then, is 16.

The y-value of the end at b is 4 and it's -2 at the middle.
y has decreased by 6 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 6 during the other half of the line.
The y-value at the other end, at a, then, is -8.

The other end of the line, at a, is at  (16, -8) .

The sum of the coordinates at a (p+q) is  8  .

Answer:

y=5/-8x+b

or y-b =5/-8x

or y*(-8x)=5+b

or -8xy-5=b

One angle of a triangle measures 36.5 degrees. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The final answer would depend in the type of triangle we are analyzing, however here are the possible outcomes:

1.) If it was a right triangle, 36.5 would be the smaller angle.

2.) It cannot be an equilateral triangle since all angles would be 60°.

3.) In a isosceles triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller, since the others would be 72°.

4.) In an scalene triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles since in that kind of triangle all angles can be different.

5.) In an acute triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller angle.

6.) In an obtuse triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles, since it can have highly acute angles.
