The other x-intercept is located at (-8,0). This is because the vertex is ALWAYS the midpoint between the two x-intercepts. The x coordinate of the vertex is 2. The distance between the vertex and the known x-intercept is 10 units. So go 10 units to the left now, which lands at x = -8
12 - x = 20 - 5x
You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)
12 = 20 - 4x
Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.
-8 = -4x
To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4
2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2
<span>Jake
has 1 yard of cloth. He makes bookmarks that are each 1 1/8 inches long.
Let’s find out how many bookmarks can he make.
Unit of conversion:
=> 1 yard = 36 inches.
Now, he divided it to 1 and 1/8 inches
=> 1 and 1/8 = 1.125 inches
So let’s divide this with 36 inches
=> 36 / 1.125 = 32
Thus jake can make a total of 32 bookmarks out of 1 yard of cloth with a
measurement of 1 and 1/8 inches.
