ANSWER:

C. Place the compass on point A. Open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

EXPLANATION:

A perpendicular is a line that would be at a right angle to line BA.

The next step is to chose a radius that is greater than PB or PA so as to construct the bisector. And this can be done by placing the compass on point A, and open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

Use this radius to draw an arc above and below the line, and repeat the same using B as the center with the same radius. This would form two intersecting arcs above and below line BA. Join the point of intersection of the arcs by a straight line through P. This is the bisector of line BA through point P.

Omg help me please like I just can't right now 2x-6y= -12 x+2y=14

steposvetlana [31]

here,

2x-6y= -12

2(x-3y)= -12

x-3y = -6...........eq1

x+2y=14............eq2

we can subtract the above two given equations

we get,

$x - 3y = - 6 \\ x + 2y = 14$

___________

$- 5y = - 20$

so,

y=4

now to find the value of x we have to substitute the value of y in any of the above two equations, I choose eq2

we get,

$x + 2y = 14 \\ x + 2 \times 4 = 14 \\ x + 8 = 14 \\ x = 14 - 8 \\ x = 6$

Simplify 1)5x+3=x+13 2)5/2x-1/X =1/6

Artyom0805 [142]

Step-by-step explanation (Question 1):

Step 1: (Question 1): Subtract x from both sides.

5x+3=x+13

5x+3−x=x+13−x

4x+3=13

Step 2: (Question 1): Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x+3−3=13−3

4x=10

Step 3: (Question 1): Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 10/4

FIRST ANSWER: x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation (Question 2):

Step 1: (Question 2): Multiply by LCM

15x^2 - 6 = x

Step 2: (Question 2): Solve 15x^2

15x^2 - 6 = x:

x = 2/3

x = -3/5

Step 3: (Question 2): Solve

ANSWER: x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

See Attachment 1 for question 1 steps (FULL)

See Attachment 2 for question 2 steps (FULL)

Answer:

1) x = 5/2

2) x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

Hope this helps.
