Please help me with number 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
4 0

"twelve decreased by twice a number"   --->   12 - 2x

"8 times the sum of number and 4"   --->   8(x + 4)

12 - 2x  =  8(x + 4)

12 - 2x  =  8x + 32                    (distributive property)

12        =  10x + 32                   (add 2x to both sides)

-20       =  10x                           (subtract 32 from both sides)

x  =  -2                                      (divide both sides by 10)

That's answer.

x = 8

y = 20

Answer:

  17.  5

  18.  17

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used for the purpose.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

__

17. d = √((3-6)² +(1-5)²) = √((-3)² +(-4)²) = √(9+16) = √25 = 5

The distance between the points is 5 units.

__

18. d = √((-1-7)² +(12-(-3))²) = √(64 +225) = √289 = 17

The distance between the points is 17 units.
