K (3x - 2) = 4 - 6x Find the value of k

Mathematics

Hello!

In this case, you are looking for a value of K so the left side of the equation is equal to the right.

The left side of the equation is K (3x - 2), and the right is 4 - 6x. To get the left side to equal the right, you can set K = -2. This is because of the <u>distributive property</u>: a number just outside of the parenthesis can distribute to everything in the parenthesis like so:

-2 (3x - 2) = (-2 * 3x) - (-2 * -2) = -6x + 4

Therefore, your answer is K = -2.

Hope this helps!

(Side note: a better way to do this would be to divide both sides by 3x - 2)

Length of tangent line - geometry please help
kolezko [41]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

PC * PA = PB^2

(PA+AC) * PA = PB^2

(4+32) * 4 = PB^2

36*4 = PB^2

144 = PB^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(144) = sqrt(PB^2)

12= PB

I need help. i don’t understand this question .
user100 [1]

So the question is asking to solve for y

You know RS=7y-4

You know ST=y+5

You know RT=28

RS+ST=RT as shown in the diagram, This means that you can use that equation and replace RS,ST, and RT with what you know they are equal too. So you end up with the equation:

(7y-4)+(y+5)=28, Now you have to solve for y

7y-4+y+5=28

8y+1=28

8y=27

y=3.375
