Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2 + x = -7

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 2 on both sides: x = -9

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 2 - 9 = -7
Subtract: -7 = -7

In order to solve this linear equation, we need to group all the variable terms on one side, and all the constant terms on the other side of the equation. In our example,
- term 2, will be moved to the right side.
Notice that a term changes sign when it 'moves' from one side of the equation to the other.
Therefore, the answer is x=-9

In Exercises 10 and 11, points B and D are points of tangency. Find the value(s) of x.

Lemur [1.5K]

In both cases,

$AB^2=AD^2$

(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)

So we have

10.

$(4x+7)^2=(6x-3)^2$

$16x^2+56x+49=36x^2-36x+9$

$20x^2-92x-40=0$

$5x^2-23x-10=0$

$(5x+2)(x-5)=0\implies\boxed{x=5}$

(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)

11.

$(4x^2-18x-10)^2=(x^2+x+4)^2$

$16x^4-144x^3+244x^2+360x+100=x^4+2x^3+9x^2+8x+16$

$15x^4-146x^3+235x^2+352x+84=0$

$(x-7)(3x+2)(5x^2-17x-6)=0\implies\boxed{x=-\dfrac23\text{ or }x=7}$

(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)

A magician is performing for an audience of 32 men and 20 women. He selects a volunteer from the audience, has the volunteer sta

statuscvo [17]

32+20=52 so there are 52 people in all.
32/52 people are men.
we now have to subtract 1 from this fraction like so 32-1/52-1 since the magician took away 1 man from the audience (therefore reducing the amount of men as well as the audience as a whole) resulting in 31/51
we multiply 32/52 with 31/51 to get 248/663. simply turn this fraction into a percent by multiplying the quotient by 100 and rounding it to the nearest tenth to get 37.4%
