Answer:

5. x = -1

6. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5. AB = 5

BC = 2x + 6

AC = x + 10

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

5 + 2x + 6 = x + 10 (substitution)

Collect like terms

5 + 6 + 2x = x + 10

11 + 2x = x + 10

2x - x = - 11 + 10

x = -1

6. AB = 9x + 7

BC = -3x + 20

AC = 39

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

(9x + 7) + (-3x + 20) = 39 (substitution)

Solve for x

9x + 7 - 3x + 20 = 39

Collect like terms

9x - 3x + 7 + 20 = 39

6x + 27 = 39

Subtract 27 from both sides

6x + 27 - 27 = 39 - 27

6x = 12

Divided both sides by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x = 2

Alan is paying a dinner check but he was not sure how much he should tip for his bill of $27 and thirty-eight. if a standard tip
morpeh [17]
So you need to find 15% of $27.38. To do this you can multiply 27.38 * .15 and get 4.107. Round to $4.11 and this is the tip. The total bill would be $31.49

Find the x-intercept of the parabola with vertex (1,-13) and y-intercept (0,-11).
Advocard [28]
1. find equation

general solutions are:
y = a x^{2} +bx +c \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax +b

for P(0,-11)

-11 = 0a + 0b +c ⇒c = -11

for p(1,-13)
-13 = 1a + 1b -11 \\ a+b = -2

and

0 = 2a + b \\ b = -2a

solve for a and b:
a - 2a = -2 \\ a = 2 \\ b = -4

the total equation is now:

y = 2 x^{2} -4x -11

To find the x-intercept set y=0 and solve for x

0 = 2 x^{2} -4x-11
