Answer:  The correct option is

(A) Both expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find he result of substituting 2 for x in both the following expressions :

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\\\E_2=x+6-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting x = 2 in both the expressions, we get

(i)~\Rightarrow E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2+4=1+4=5,\\\\\\(ii)~\Rightarrow E_2=2+6-\dfrac{1}{2}\times2-2=8-1-2=5.

So, the both the expressions equal 5.

Now, from equation (ii), we get

E_2=x+6-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=\dfrac{2-1}{2}x+6-2=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4=E_1.

That is, both the expressions are equivalent.

Thus, both the expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Answer: pretty sure the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

2 + 6 - 1/2(2) -2 = 8 - 1 - 2 = 5

Given the endpoint A(1, 3) and the midpoint C(6, 2), find the other endpoint B(x, y).
Tpy6a [65]

Right away we know we don't have fractions; the midpoint is the average of the coordinates, so if it and one endpoint are integers so is the other endpoint.

We can do a kind of point arithmetic:

C = (A+B)/2

2C = A+B

B = 2C - A

B = 2(6,1) - (1,3) = (12,2)-(1,3)=(11,-1)

Answer: That's none of the above, but a typo away from the first choice.

Answer:

C. 2x^2-7x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x^2-2x+2)-(x^2+5x-5)     <em>Given</em>

From the given you will subtract like terms from both parenthesis.

3x^2-x^2=2x^2

-2x-5x=-7x

2-(-5)=7
