Answer:
x = 1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
10.4 - 5 = 5.4 (subtract 5 from each side)
to isolate the variable, x, divide each side by 3
5.4/3 = 1.8
We start by finding the intercept of the line: what does y equal when x=0? and what does x equal when y=0?
• intercept in x
y = 12 + 2x
0 = 12 + 2x
-12 = 2x
-6 = x
• intercept in y
y = 12 + 2x
y = 12 + 2(0)
y = 12 + 0
y = 12
Now we find three more points giving y a value and finding x
y = 12 + 2x
2 = 12 + 2x
2-12 = 2x
-10 = 2x
-5 = x
y = 12 + 2x
6 = 12 + 2x
6 - 12 = 2x
-6 = 2x
-3 = x
y = 12 + 2x
14 = 12 + 2x
14 - 12 = 2x
2 = 2x
1 = x
Notice how I gave y even numbers as values since we would have to divide with 2 at the end.
Sol. {(-6,0)(0,12)(-5,2)(-3,6)(1,14)}
Answer:
6x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this as a proportion
6 8
---- = ----------
2 x
Using cross products
6x = 2*8
6x = 16
