First distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
-2(x+4)=-2x-8
now we have
-2x-8-8=4
-2x-16=4
add 16 both sides
-2x=20
divide bot sides by -2
x=-10

To solve this question apply the distributive property to the value of -2. It becomes -2x-16=4. Adding 16 on both sides it becomes -2x=20, dividing by -2. The result is -10.

CD is perpendicular to AB and passes through point C5, 12).

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x intercept of CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.

For that we need to find the equation of CD

we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD

Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB

So, the slope of CD $mCD = -\frac{1}{mAB}$
