Answer:
x would equal -11 or 13
Step-by-step Explanation:
x(x - 2) - 143 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0
-2x + x^2 = 143
-143 + (-2x) + x^2 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 11)
x - 13 = 0
Add 13 to both sides
x = 13
x + 11 = 0
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = -11
Answer:
y=-
x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is a = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3a = -5
3 × 1/3a = 3 × (-5)
a = 3 × (-5)
a = -3 × 5
Answer is a = -15
Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)
