Volgvan

Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4

The diagram below shows a rectangle with a shaded region. What is the area, in square meters, of the shaded region in the diagra
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

Area of rectangle= l×b

                            =9×3

                            = 27m²

Area of triangle= \frac{1}{2} b×h

                        =\frac{1}{2} ×3×3

                        =\frac{9}{2} ⇒4.5

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

                                     =27-4.5

                                     =22.5m²

Help please hurry need help
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1: D

2: B

3: y=-4x+22

4: y=-8x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Parallel lines have the same slope, and the only one with a slope of 3x is D

2: Perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so a line with a slope of -1/2 would be 2, so you just flip the number and add or take away a negative sign, depending on the original slope

3: Like I said before, perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so the slope would be -4. After you've figured that out, you just plug in the numbers given to you (and remember, x is first, y is last)

Plug in: 6=-4(4)+b

You would then solve for b.

6=-16+b

22=b

Then plug that into y=mx+b, with m being the slope (-4) and b being the y intercept (22)

4: The process for finding parallel and perpendicular lines is very similar, except you don't have to change the slope.

Plug in: 10=-8(2)-b

10=-16+b

26=b

Again, plug that into the equation y=mx+b

Hope I could be of help! Sorry if it doesn't make sense, this is my first time on this website.
