Answer: x = 3, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 |x + 1| + 3 = 11

-3 -3

2 |x + 1| = 8

÷2 ÷2

| x + 1 | = 4

x + 1 = 4 or x + 1 = -4

-1 -1 -1 -1

x = 3 or x = -5

A circle has a diameter with endpoints at 3 – 5i and –8 + 2i. What is the center of the circle?

So we got the real axis and the imaginary axis
we just need to find the average of the 2 points

remember
midpoint of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
so

average of 3 and -8 is -5/2
average of -5i and 2i is -3/2i

center is -5/2-3/2i

What is the value of x????

If QR is a median, then:

$\dfrac{NO+MP}{2}=QR$

We have NO = 30, MP = 9x - 42 and QR = x + 15. Substitute:

$\dfrac{30+9x-42}{2}=x+15\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\9x-12=2x+30\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\9x=2x+42\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\7x=42\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\\\boxed{x=6}$
