(17-5)(x+6)-(3x-12)=0

12(x+6)-(3x-12)=0

12x-(3x-12)+72=0

12x-3x+12+72=0

9x+84=0

9x=-84

x=9+1/3

Solve the following system of linear equations by graphing: 2x + 2y = 10 8x + 8y = 24

andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x - 8y = -20

8x + 8y = 24

0 ≠ 4

2y = -2x + 10

y = -x + 5

8y = -8x + 24

y = -x + 3

Slope is –2 & (5, 3) is on the line. Y-Intercept: Equation of the line (no spaces):

insens350 [35]

Answer:

y-int: (0, 13)

Equation: y = -2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Step 1: Define variables

m = -2

Random point (5, 3)

Step 2: Plug in known variables

y = -2x + b

Step 3: Find y-intercept b

3 = -2(5) + b

3 = -10 + b

b = 13

Step 4: Rewrite equation

y = -2x + 13

What is the length of the line segment with endpoints (11, −4) and (−12, −4

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

23 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula: d = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

Plug in the 2 points:

d = $\sqrt{(-12 - 11)^2 + (-4 + 4)^2}$

d = $\sqrt{529}$

d = 23

So, the distance is 23 units
