Solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
  2. <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
  3. <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
  4. <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

Segment AB has endpoints A(–4, 6) and B(1, 4). After a dilation, centered at the origin, the image of A is (–6, 9). Without meas
Ksivusya [100]
With A and its image one can get the dilation factor;
That is dilation scale factor = -6/-4 or 9/6 = 3/2
Therefore, to get the image of B we multiply the coordinates of B by the dilation factor; 
(1,4) 3/2 = (1.5, 6)
Thus the image of B = (1.5,6)
