How do you solve for 0.25(12-8p)=4p-9

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is p = 2.

Here are the steps I did.

1. Expand ( 3 - 2p = 4p - 9 )

2. Add 2p to both sides ( 3 = 4p - 9 + 2p )

3. Simplify 4p - 9 + 2p to 6p - 9 ( 3 = 6p - 9 )

4. Add 9 to both sides ( 3 + 9 = 6p )

5. Simplify 3 + 9 to 12 ( 12 = 6p )

6. Divide both sides by 6 ( 12/6 = p )

7. Simplify 12/6 to 2 ( 2 = p )

8. Now lastly switch it up ( p = 2 )

The midpoint of AB is M(1, 3). If the coordinates of A are(4,1), what are the coordinates of B?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

B(-2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x + 4}{2} = 1 \\ 2 \times \frac{x + 4}{2} = 1 \times 2 \\ x + 4 = 2 \\ x = 2 - 4 \\ x = - 2 \\ \frac{y + 1}{2} = 3 \\ 2 \times \frac{y + 1}{2} = 3 \times 2 \\ y + 1 = 6 \\ y = 6 - 1 \\ y = 5$

Hope that this is helpful.
