Hi
.... then it is located on the perpendicular bisector.
Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.
If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.
For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.
18 - 7x = -20.5
We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.
18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5
Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.
-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5
So, x is equal to 5.5.
How much of the land is available to be divided into lots?
Answer:
D. about 8.5 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
To go from Aesha to Josh, you go 6 units right and 6 units up.
Each unit is a mile, so you go 6 miles right and 6 miles up.
Think of each 6 mile distance as a leg of a right triangle, and the direct distance from one place to the other as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The 6-mile legs are a and b. c is the hypotenuse.
(6 mi)^2 + (6 mi)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 36 mi^2 + 36 mi^2
c^2 = 72 mi^2
c = sqrt(72) mi
c = sqrt(36 * 2) mi
c = 6sqrt(2) mi
c = 6(1.4142) mi
c = 8.5 mi
