Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 10/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

6 / (x + 2) = 5 / 4x

To solve this equation use cross multiplication

6(4x) = 5(x + 2)

Simplify

24x = 5x + 10

Subtract 5x in both sides of the equation

24x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 10

Simplify

19x = 10

Divide by 19 both sides

19x/19 = 10/19

Simplify

x = 10/19

Answer:

Okay so for finding the equation of a line, which is a function, the equation is set to y, so you can eliminate A and B. When the slope of an equation is 0, we are saying that the y value of any point of the line is going to be the same, which is 9 from the given point (2,9).

So the answer is C. y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\2x^2-4x-9=0\qquad|\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\2x^2-4x-9+9=0+9\\\\2x^2-4x=9\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x^2}{2}-\dfrac{4x}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\x^2-2x=4.5\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1=4.5\qquad|\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1+1^2=4.5+1^2\\\\(x-1)^2=5.5\iff x-1=\pm\sqrt{5.5}\qquad|\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x=1-\sqrt{5.5}\ \vee\ x=1+\sqrt{5.5}$
