Answer:

  1a) divide both sides by 2

  1b) multiply both sides by -1

  2a) 2x+4

  2b) 2x

  2c) P = 2x+4; A = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve equations, you take advantage of the properties of equality and of identity elements.

The multiplicative identity element is 1. (Multiplying by 1 does not change the value of a number or expression.) The product of a number and its reciprocal is the multiplicative identity element.

The multiplication property of equality tells you that you can multiply both sides of an equation by the same value, and the value of the variable remains the same. (The equal sign remains true.)

Of course, division by 'a' is the same as multiplication by 1/a.

__

1a) We have 2x on the left. We want 1x on the left. The properties discussed above say we can multiply both sides of the equation by the multiplicative inverse of 2 and the result will be what we're after.

  (1/2)(2x) = (1/2)(17) . . . . multiply both sides by 1/2 (equivalently, divide by 2)

  x = 17/2

__

1b) The coefficient of x is -1. The reciprocal of that is also -1. So, we can multiply this equation by -1 to get what we're after.

 (-1)(-x) = (-1)(9) . . . . multiply both sides by -1

  x = -9

__

2a) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. Opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length. So, the perimeter is ...

  2 + x + 2 + x = 2x+4 . . . . . . listing sides CW from the top

__

2b) The area is the product of the side lengths:

  (x)(2) = 2x

__

2c) As equations, we can write perimeter (P) and area (A) as ...

  P = 2x+4

  A = 2x

(3x-5)/(x-5)&gt;=0 <br> How do I get the answers for this problem?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
\frac{3x-5}{x-5} > 0 

First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3x-5}{x-5} = 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{5}{3}
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test: 
x < \frac{5}{3}
\frac{5}{3} < x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval. 

1. For the interval x < \frac{5}{3} :
Let's pick x - 0. Then, \frac{3x0-5}{0-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.

2. For the interval \frac{5}{3} < x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then, \frac{3x2-5}{2-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.

3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then, \frac{3x6-5}{6-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5

Answer: x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5

If the slope of a line is -1 and two points on the line are (-9, 3) and (-10, r), what is the value of r?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

r=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of the line is -1.

We also know that the line passes through (-9, 3) and (-10, r).

We want to find the value of r.

First, let's figure out the equation of our line. We can use the point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute -1 for m. Since we know the point (-9, 3), let's use this for (x₁, y₁).

Substitute:

y-(3)=-1(x-(-9))

Simplify:

y-3=-(x+9)

Distribute:

y-3=-x-9

Add 3 to both sides. So, our equation is:

y=-x-6

It passes through (-10, r) and we want to find the value of r. So, let's substitute -10 for x and r for y, since -10 is our x and r is our y. So:

r=-(-10)-6

Evaluate for r. Distribute:

r=10-6

Subtract:

r=4

So, the value of r is 4.

And we're done!
