let's recall that in a Kite the diagonals meet each other at 90° angles, Check the picture below, so we're looking for the equation of a line that's perpendicular to BD and that passes through (-1 , 3).
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of BD
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/3 and passes through point A

As you can see, in the table of the first function, f(2) = 18, and in the table of the second function g(2) = 18. Then, for x = 2, f(x) = g(x). and x =2 is the solution of the equation.
Answer: x = 2.
Answer:
77,464.4
Step-by-step explanation:
its right
<span>2 square root (x - 5) = 2. 2^2 (x -5) = 2^2. 4(x - 5) = 4. 4x - 20 = 4. 4x = 24. x = 6. This solution is not extraneous, because extraneous solutions emerge from solving the problem but are not actually valid solutions for the initial problem. With rounding, this solution is valid for the initial problem.</span>
I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.
