Answer: Never true.

Step-by-step explanation: Distribute the numbers: 4 times x is 4x, 4 times 3 is 12. Then you have the equation: -x+4x +12 = -12. Now, choose a random number, maybe -4. A negative plus a negative cancels out so you are left with 4-16(Because you distribute the number) +12 = -12. 4-16 is -12. -12 plus 12 equals 0.

22. Determine the value of c so that the line

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

If the lines BC and DE are parallel, the value of c is c=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given line segment BC with end points B(2, 2) and C(9,6) and line segment DE with endpoints D(c, -7) and E(5, -3).

Using slope formula: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ we can find point c

When 2 lines are parallel there slope is same.

So, Slope of line BC =Slope of Line DE

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have:

$x_1=2, y_1=2, x_2=9, y_2=6 \ for \ line \ BC \ and \\\x_1=c, y_1=-7, x_2=5, y_2=-3 \ for \ line \ DE \$

Putting values and finding c

$\frac{6-2}{9-2}=\frac{-3-(-7)}{5-c}\\ \frac{4}{7}=\frac{-3+7}{5-c} \\ \frac{4}{7}=\frac{4}{5-c} \\Cross \ multiply:\\4(5-c)=4*7\\20-4c=28\\-4c=28-20\\-4c=8\\c=\frac{8}{-4}\\c=-2$
