Answer: -4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a segment is located at the same distance of each of the endpoints of the segment.
The midpoint is at x = 1.
The length of the segment is 10.5, if we divide it by two we have:
10.5/2 = 5.25
Now, if we want the endpoints to be at the same distance of the midpoint, then the endpoints will be:
Xmax = midpoint + 5.25
Xmin = midpoint - 5.25
Then the extremes are:
Xmax = 1 + 5.25 = 6.25
Xmin = 1 - 5.25 = -4.25
Then this segment can be written as:
Xmin ≤ x ≤ Xmax
-4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Simplify the equation.
First, distribute the 2 in the left side of the equation.
Resulting in: 2x-6 = (x-1) + 7
Second, remove the parentheses form the right side of the equation (there is nothing to distribute there).
Resulting in: x - 1 + 7
Now simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting the 1 from the 7.
Resulting in: x + 6
Our goal is to isolate the x to the left side, and the numerals to the right side.
With that in mind, add the 6 (from the right side) to both sides. This cancels out the 6 on the right side.
Resulting in: 2x = 12
Lastly, in order to fully isolate the variable (x), we divide both sides by 2.
Resulting in: x = 6
Hope this helps.
The roots are 3 and 17 so the distributed equation is
(x-3)(x-17)
distribute
x²-3x-17x+51
x²-20x+51
I hope I've helped!
Answer:
$659.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since its 25 percent off we need to see what it would look as a decimal
1-.25=.75
879times.75= 659.25
<h3><u>x > -4 is the solution to this inequality.</u></h3>
30 > -6(2x + 3)
Distributive property.
30 > -12x - 18
Add 18 to both sides.
48 > -12x
Divide both sides by -12.
(Because we're dividing by a negative, the inequality sign flips.)
<h3><u>4- < x</u></h3>
