Answer:

This means that when we put in 2 for x in the polynomial, the end value will be 1. So whatever the polynomial is, the value will be 1 when you input 2.

Solving a Two-Step Matrix Equation Solve the equation:

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following equation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\5&5\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\\\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\2\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\-3\\\end{array}\right]$

-In order to solve a pair of equations by using substitution, you first need to solve one of the equations for one of variables and then you would substitute the result for that variable in the other equation:

-First equation:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Second equation:

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Choose one of the two following equations, which I choose the first one, then you solve for $x_{1}$ by isolating

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Subtract $1$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1$

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} = 1$

-Subtract $2x_{2}$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} - 2x_{2} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

-Divide both sides by $3$ :

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

-Multiply $-2x_{2} + 1$ by $\frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

-Substitute $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ for $x_{1}$ in the second equation, which is $5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$ :

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

Multiply $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ by $5$ :

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Combine like terms:

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} = -3$

-Subtract $\frac{11}{3}$ to both sides:

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = -3 - \frac{11}{3}$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} = -\frac{20}{3}$

-Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{3}$ :

$\frac{\frac{5}{3}x_{2}}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

-After you have the value of $x_2$ , substitute for $x_{2}$ onto this equation, which is $x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

-Multiply $-\frac{2}{3}$ and $-4$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

-Since both $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ have the same denominator, then add the numerators together. Also, after you have added both numerators together, reduce the fraction to the lowest term:

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{9}{3}$

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$

In circle A, ∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE.

kirza4 [7]

The image of circle A is missing, so i have attached it;

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δs EAB and EAD

We are told that;

∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE

AB = AD = AE

Now,

The Two triangles have two corresponding equal sides and the angles between them are equal, thus, we can say that the two triangles are congruent by SAS (Side Angle Side) postulate of congruence

By using the result of congruence, we can say that;

EB ≅ ED

We are given that;

EB = 3x - 24 and ED = x + 10

Thus,

3x - 24 = x + 10

∴ 3 x - 24 = x + 10

Add 24 to both sides to give;

3x = x + 34

Subtract x from both sides to give;

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2 to give;
