Answer:

x = -3n/4

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve for x in this expression we would open the bracket with -3 according to BODMAS rule. then we would evaluate for the value of x

-3(x+n) = x what is x

-3x-3n= x

-3x = x + 3n

-3x -x = 3n

-4x = 3n

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is -4

-4x/-4 = 3n/-4

x = -3n/4

therefore the value of x in the expression -3(x+n) = x is evaluated to be

x = -3n/4

Kimberly makes a conjecture that the sum of two odd integers is always an even integer. Which choice is the best proof of her co

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

third choice : Let 2a + 1 be one odd number, and let 2b + 1 be the other odd number. (2a + 1) + (2b + 1) = 2a + 2b + 2 = 2(a + b + 1). Because 2(a + b + 1) is evenly divisible by 2, it is an even number.

the line joining A(a, 3) to B(2 -3) is perpendicular to the line joining C(10,1) to B. The value of a is?

RideAnS [48]

Well, first off, let's find what is the slope of BC

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad 
% (c,d)
C&({{ 10}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-3)}{10-2}\implies \cfrac{1+3}{10-2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a negative reciprocal slope, thus

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{1}{2}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 2}}}{1}\implies \boxed{-2}$

now, we know the slope "m" of AB is -2 then, thus

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ a}}\quad ,&{{ 3}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{2-a}=\boxed{-2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-6}{2-a}=-2\implies -6=-4+2a\implies -2=2a\implies \cfrac{-2}{2}=a
\\\\\\
-1=a$
