8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2

How do you find a vector that is orthogonal to 5i + 12j ?

Rashid [163]

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{a}{b}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ b}}}{a}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \boxed{5i+12j}\implies 
\begin{array}{rllll}
\ \textless \ 5&,&12\ \textgreater \ \\
x&&y
\end{array}\quad slope=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies \cfrac{12}{5}
\\\\\\
slope=\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad negative\implies -\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 5}}}{12}
\\\\\\
\ \textless \ 12, -5\ \textgreater \ \ or\ \ \textless \ -12,5\ \textgreater \ \implies \boxed{12i-5j\ or\ -12i+5j}$

if we were to place <5, 12> in standard position, so it'd be originating from 0,0, then the rise is 12 and the run is 5.

so any other vector that has a negative reciprocal slope to it, will then be perpendicular or "orthogonal" to it.

so... for example a parallel to <-12, 5> is say hmmm < -144, 60>, if you simplify that fraction, you'd end up with <-12, 5>, since all we did was multiply both coordinates by 12.

or using a unit vector for those above, then

$\bf \textit{unit vector}\qquad \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{||\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ ||}\implies \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\implies \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}},\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{12,-5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{12,-5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{-5}{13}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-12,5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{-12,5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{-12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{5}{13}}$
