6 - 2x = 6x - 10x + 4

6 - 2x =  - 4x + 4

6 =  - 4x + 4 + 2x

6 =  - 2x + 4

- 2x + 4 = 6

- 2x = 6 - 4

- 2x = 2

x =  \frac{ \:  \:  \: 2}{ - 2}

x =  - 1

Therefore , the value of x = -1

What is the ratio in which the point P(3/4,5/12) decides the line segment joining points A(1/2,3/2) and B(2,-5)
timama [110]

Given:

The point P\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right) divides the line segment joining points A\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right) and B(2,-5).

To find:

The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get

\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{m(2)+n(\dfrac{1}{2})}{m+n},\dfrac{m(-5)+n(\dfrac{3}{2})}{m+n}\right)

\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n},\dfrac{-5m+\dfrac{3n}{2}}{m+n}\right)

On comparing both sides, we get

\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n}

\dfrac{3}{4}(m+n)=\dfrac{4m+n}{2}

Multiply both sides by 4.

3(m+n)=2(4m+n)

3m+3n=8m+2n

3n-2n=8m-3m

n=5m

It can be written as

\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{m}{n}

1:5=m:n

Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.

The sum of 5.75 and half a number is -5. What is the number? Please help!
barxatty [35]

Answer:

5.75 +  \frac{x}{2}  =  -  5 \\  \frac{x}{2}  =  - 5 - 5.75 \\  \frac{x}{2}  =  - 10.75 \\ x =  - 21.5

Sense or nonsense? Pete says that to write 4/6 as 2/3, you combine pieces, but to write 4/6 as 8/12, you break apart pieces does
sertanlavr [38]

In order to write 4/6 as 2/3 we would break apart pieces and to write 4/6 as 8/12 we would combine pieces.

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

A fraction is a quantity that is not a whole number. In maths, a fraction usually has a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below.

In order to write 4/6 as 2/3 we have to express in its simplest form. This means that you have to divide 4/6 by 2. In order to write 4/6 as 8/23, multiply 4/6 by 2.

What is the value of h when the function is converted to vertex form?
elena-s [515]

Answer: h=7

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the function in vertex form is:

 f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

You must group the terms that contain the same variable in the function:

f(x)=(x^{2}-14x)+29

Complete the square as following:

f(x)=(x^{2}-14x+49)+29-49

Now you must rewrite it as following:

 f(x)=(x-7)^{2}-20

Then:

h=7
