How do I solve this equation 144=-12(x+5)

1 answer:

6 0

First you distribute the -12 to the (x+5) getting 144=-12x-60.

Next you add 60 to each side getting 204=-12x

Then you divide each side by -12 getting -17=x, which is the answer.<span />

The right isosceles triangle PQR has vertices P(3, 3), Q(3, 1) and R(x, y) and is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the

Jlenok [28]

For the answer to the question above, since the triangle is isosceles, the two legs have equal length. The coordinates of two vertices are given
P(3,3)
Q(3,1)
Assuming that PQ and QR are the legs of equal length, the distance between Q and R must be the same as the distance between P and Q
d = √[(3-3)² + (3-1)²
d = 2
Therefore, the coordinates of P is
(5,1)
