Answer:

x = 5/(10 - a - b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 + 3 x - a x = 9 - 7 x + b x

Collect in terms of x:

x (3 - a) + 4 = 9 - 7 x + b x

Collect in terms of x:

x (3 - a) + 4 = x (b - 7) + 9

Subtract (b - 7) x + 4 from both sides:

x (10 - a - b) = 5

Divide both sides by 10 - a - b:

Answer: x = 5/(10 - a - b)

Answer:

(-1/2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I just used the midpoint formula, and plugged in the points. I hope this helps!

=(x^2+x^1 /2 , y^2+y^1 /2)

=(-2+1 /2 , -5+3 /2)

=(-1/2, 1)

Perimeter of a rectangle is 52 feet. If the length is 10 less than 2 times the width, what is the width?

ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x feet.

Therefore, length = 2x - 10

Perimeter of rectangle = 52

$2(2x - 10 + x) = 52 \\ 2(3x - 10) = 52 \\ \therefore \: 3x - 10 = \frac{52}{2} \\ \therefore \: 3x - 10 = 26\\ \therefore \: 3x = 26 + 10\\ \therefore \: 3x = 36 \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{36}{3} \\ \therefore \: x = 12 \\ \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: width \: of \: rectangle = 12 \: feet }}$
