To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9          Distribute -3 into (4x + 5)

16x + (-3)4x + (-3)5 = 2x + 9

16x - 12x - 15 = 2x + 9         Combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are 16x - 12x, as they have the same variable "x" and a power/exponent of 1.

4x - 15 = 2x + 9        Subtract 2x on both sides

4x - 2x - 15 = 2x - 2x + 9

2x - 15 = 9     Add 15 on both sides

2x - 15 + 15 = 9 + 15

2x = 24          Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24}{2}

x = 12

Describe and correct the error a student made in finding the midpoint cd with c(-4,5) and d(-1,-4).
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the midpoint of two coordinates is expressed as;

M(X,Y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Given the coordinates c(-4,5) and d(-1,-4), x1 = -4, y1 = 5, x2 = -1 and y2 = -4.

For the X coordinate of the midpoint

X = x1+x2/2

X = -4+(-1)/2

X = -4-1/2

X = -5/2

X = -2.5

Similarly for Y:

Y = y1+y2/2

Y = 5+(-4)/2

Y = 5-4/2

Y = 1/2

Y = 0.5

Hence the midpoint coordinate of C(-4,5) and D (-1,-4) is (-2.5, 0.5)
