-12x - 17 = -89 pleaseee help ❤️❤️

1 answer:

8 0

Add 17 to both sides, making the equation
-12x = -72
Then to isolate x, divide both sides by -12, eventually getting x = 6

Calculate the area of triangle ABC with altitude CD, given A (6,0) B(1,5) C (2,0) and D (4,2)

Elina [12.6K]

So hmm check the picture below

the height or altitude is CD
and the base is AB

how long are those? well $\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\\\\
C&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
D&({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(5-0)^2}\qquad \qquad CD=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(2-0)^2}$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Match the equations that are the same

wolverine [178]

Answer:

1. 1/x = 8

Answer = 8x-1

2. 8x+1=3

Answer ; x=1/4

3. 7= 14/X

Answer ; x = 2

4.1/2x^2 = 2

Answer ;x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{x} =8 \\8x = 1\\\\\\8x+1=3\\Collect -like- terms \\8x =3-1\\8x = 2\\Divide -both -sides- by ;8\\\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{2}{8} \\x = 1/4\\\\\\7= \frac{14}{x} \\Cross -multiply\\7x =14\\Divide-both-sides-by-7\\x = 2\\\\\\\frac{1}{2} x^{2} =2\\\frac{x^{2} }{2} =2\\Cross-multiply\\x^{2} =4\\Squre-root -both-sides\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{4} \\x = 2\\$

How would I show that the slope is constant (Topic is: Graphing Proportional Relationships and Defining Slope)

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Pick 3 or four points on the ray that land on a point (not (5.5, 2.5) more like whole numbers (3,3). These are just examples.)on the slope. Then find the slope of all points. if the answers are the same, then it is constant
