Answer:
5/(3x+2) = 7/(5x-2)
<=>5*(5x-2) = 7*(3x+2) (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> 25x -10 = 21x +14 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> 4x = 24 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> x = 6 (valid)
Answer:
HUH? What do you mean about that?
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together
3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together
4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together
5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 7
2x+y = 5
1 Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together
-x+-y = -7
2x+y = 5
---------------
x =-2 then solve for y
2. Multiply the second equation by -1 first equation by -1 then add the equations together
-x+-y = -7
-2x-y = -5
---------------
-3x -2y = -12
Still have both variables
3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together
x+y = 7
-2x-y =- 5
----------------------
-x = 2
4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together
-2x+-2y = -14
2x+y = 5
--------------
-y = -9
5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together
2x+2y = 14
-2x-y = -5
--------------
y = 9
The midpoints are (8,3) and (6.5,6).
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Midpoint formula = ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)
(x1,y1) = (5,2)
(x2,y2) = (11,4)
Midpoint = ((5+11)/2 , (2+4)/2)
⇒ ((16/2) , (6/2))
⇒ (8,3)
(x1,y1) = (3,8)
(x2,y2) = (10,4)
Midpoint = ((3+10)/2 , (8+4)/2)
⇒ ((13/2) , (12/2))
⇒ (6.5,6)
