Answer:

x = 9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 81-2 = 16- 2x

first, combine like terms so,

-81 - 2= -83

12x - 83 = 16 - 2x

now subtract 16 on both sides

12x - 83(-16) = 16(-16) - 2x

12x -99 = -2x

now subtract 12 on both sides

12x (-12) = 99 - 2x (-2)

10x = -99

now divide 10 on both sides

x = 9.9

Which is the simplified form of this expression? <br><br> (2x+3) (x-6)-2x^2+3x+30
docker41 [41]
-6x + 12

To find this answer, follow these steps:

First, multiply 2x + 3 and x - 6 using either the FOIL method or the box method. This should get you the answer of 2x^2 - 9x - 18

This should now replace the 2x + 3 and x - 6

So with that, you should have this currently:

2x^2 - 9x - 18 - 2x^2 + 3x + 30

Now, combine like terms:

The 2x^2 cancels each other out. After that, combine -9x and 3x to get -6x. Then -18 and 30.

This should leave you with the final answer of -6x + 12

Hope this helps!

What is the slope of the tangent line to the parametric curve x = t2 + 2t, y = t2 + 1 at t = 1?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = t² + 2t

dx/dt = 2t + 2

y = t² + 1

dy/dt = 2t

dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)

dy/dx = 2t / (2t + 2)

dy/dx = t / (t + 1)

At t = 1, dy/dx = 1/2.
