-9x+1=-x+17
-9x +x = 17 -1
-8x = 16
x = 16/-8
x= -2

Answer: The required solution is x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation:

$-9x+1=-x+17~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since the given equation is linear in one unknown variable 'x', so we are to find that value of 'x' for which the equation becomes true.

From equation (i), we have

$-9x+1=-x+17\\\\\Rightarrow -9x+x=17-1\\\\\Rightarrow -8x=16\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{16}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-2.$

Thus, the required solution is x = -2.

The vertices of a triangle are located at the points A(0, 1), B(2, 4) and C(3, 0). The triangle is translated 5 units down to ob

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle A'B'C' are $A'(x,y) = (0,-4)$ , $B'(x,y) = (2,-1)$ and $C'(x,y) = (3,-5)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, triangle ABC must be translated 5 units in the -y direction to form triangle A'B'C'. We need to use the following operations:

$A'(x,y) = A(x,y) +(0,-5)$ (1)

$B'(x,y) = B(x,y) +(0,-5)$ (2)

$C'(x,y) = C(x,y) + (0,-5)$ (3)

If we know that $A(x,y) = (0,1)$ , $B(x,y) = (2,4)$ and $C(x,y) = (3,0)$ , then the new vertices of the rectangle are, respectively:

$A'(x,y) = (0,-4)$ , $B'(x,y) = (2,-1)$ , $C'(x,y) = (3,-5)$
