Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(8−12x)+8x=−25x+52

(2)(8)+(2)(−12x)+8x=−25x+52(Distribute)

16+−24x+8x=−25x+52

(−24x+8x)+(16)=−25x+52(Combine Like Terms)

−16x+16=−25x+52

Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.

−16x+16+25x=−25x+52+25x

9x+16=52

Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.

9x+16−16=52−16

9x=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.

9x/9 = 36/9

x = 4

Given the points (3, 2) and (6, 4), which of the following are true about the line passing through these points? The line has a

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The slope is 2/3 and the function is y=2/3x which is a direct variation function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line between two points, we use the equation

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m= (4-2)/(6-3)

= 2/3

The slope of the line is 2/3

The equation of the line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = 2/3(x-3)

Distribute

y-2 = 2/3x -2

Add 2 to each side

y-2+2 = 2/3x -2+2

y = 2/3x

This is a direct variation function

Let x = -6

y = 2/3(-6)

y = -4

Find the area of a circle circumscribed about an equilateral triangle whose side is 18 inches long

beks73 [17]

let's recall that an equilateral triangle has all interior angles of 60°.

Check the picture below.

so as you can see, 2√3 = x = r, namely the radius of the circle.

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2\qquad \qquad \implies A=\pi (2\sqrt{3})^2\implies A=\pi (2^2)(\sqrt{3})^2\implies A=12\pi$

The angles of a quadrilateral are 2x , 3x , 7x , and 8x find x

faust18 [17]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360

2x + 3x + 7x + 8x = 360

Combine like terms

20x = 360

Divide both sides by 20

x = 18

Choose the slope-intercept form of y + 3 = 4(x – 5)

Elden [556K]

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=4x-23

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$y+3=4(x-5)$

The given equation is in point-slope form. we have to convert it to the slope-intercept form.

the slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

So,

$y+3=4(x-5)\\y+3=4x-20$

Subtracting 3 from both sides

$y+3-3=4x-20-3\\y=4x-23$

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=4x-23
