-9 -4x = 7

add 9 to both sides in order to isolate the x

-4x = 16

divide by -4

x = -4

Hey there! :)

-9 - 4x = 7 ; find x.

In order to find the value of x, we must isolate the variable. This simply means that we need to get x alone on its own side of the equal sign.

We can start by adding 9 to both sides.

-9 + 9 - 4x = 7 + 9

Simplify!

-4x = 16

Then, divide both sides by -4.

-4x ÷ -4 = 16 ÷ -4

Simplify.

x = -4

Your final answer is : x = -4

Hope this helped! :)

Find the equation of the straight line that passes through points (-1; -2) and (3; 4)
Leya [2.2K]
Y=mx+b is our base equation

m=slope, so let's find that first:
m= change in y/change in x
So between the points (-1,-2) and (3,4),
The y values, -2 and 4, have a difference of 6. The x values, -1 and 3, have a difference of 4. This makes our slope 6/4 (or 3/2 simplified)

Now our equation is
Y=3/2x + b

We still need to find b
To find b, we can substitute a point given to us. Let's use (3,4) just to avoid negatives.

4=3/2(3) + b
Multiply
4=9/2 + b
Subtract 9/2 from both sides
-1/2=b

Now let's put it all back together!

Y=3/2x-1/2 Is the answer.

I hope this Helps!

Answers:  
_____________________________________________________
   Part A)  " (3x + 4) " units  . 
_____________________________________________________
   Part B)  "The dimensions of the rectangle are:

                             " (4x + 5y) " units ;  <u>AND</u>:  " (4x − 5y)"  units."
_____________________________________________________

Explanation for  Part A):
_____________________________________________________

Since each side length of a square is the same; 
   
    Area = Length * width = L * w ;  L = w  = s = s ;

      in which:  " s = side length" ;

So, the Area of a square, "A"  = L * w = s * s = s² ;

{<u>Note</u>:  A "square" is a rectangle with 4 (four) equal sides.}.

→  Each side length, "s", of a square is equal.

Given:  s² = "(9x² + 24x + 16)" square units ;

Find "s" by factoring: "(9x² + 24x + 16)" completely:

   →  " 9x² + 24x + 16 ";

Factor by "breaking into groups" :

"(9x² + 24x + 16)"  = 

    →  "(9x² + 12x) (12x + 16)" ;
_______________________________________________________

Given:   " (9x² + 24x + 16) " ; 
_______________________________________________________
Let us start with the term:
_______________________________________________________

" (9x² + 12x) " ; 

    →  Factor out a "3x" ;  → as follows:
_______________________________________

    → " 3x (3x + 4) " ; 

Then, take the term:
_______________________________________
    → " (12x + 16) " ;

And factor out a "4" ;   →  as follows:
_______________________________________

    → " 4 (3x + 4) " 
_______________________________________
We have:

" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;

    =  " 3x (3x + 4)  +  4(3x + 4) " ;
_______________________________________
Now, notice the term:  "(3x + 4)" ; 

We can "factor out" this term:

3x (3x + 4)  +  4(3x + 4)  = 

     →  " (3x + 4) (3x + 4) " .  → which is the fully factored form of:

                                                   " 9x² + 24x + 16 "  ; 
____________________________________________________
     →  Or; write:  "  (3x + 4) (3x + 4)" ; as:  " (3x + 4)² " .
____________________________________________________
     →  So,  "s² = 9x² + 24x + 16 " ; 

Rewrite as:  " s² = (3x + 4)² " .

     →  Solve for the "positive value of "s" ; 

     →  {since the "side length of a square" cannot be a "negative" value.}.
____________________________________________________
     →  Take the "positive square root of EACH SIDE of the equation; 
              to isolate "s" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "s" ;

     →  ⁺√(s²)  =  ⁺√[(3x + 4)²]   '

To get:

     →  s  = " (3x + 4)" units .
_______________________________________________________

Part A):  The answer is:  "(3x + 4)" units.
____________________________________________________

Explanation for Part B):

_________________________________________________________<span>

The area, "A" of a rectangle is:

    A = L * w ;  

 in which "A" is the "area" of the rectangle;
                "L" is the "length" of the rectangle; 
                "w" is the "width" of the rectangle; 
_______________________________________________________
  Given:  " A = </span>(16x² − 25y²) square units" ;  
   
       →  We are asked to find the dimensions, "L" & "w" ;
       →  by factoring the given "area" expression completely:
____________________________________________________
  → Factor:  " (16x² − 25y²) square units " completely '

Note that:  "16" and: "25" are both "perfect squares" ;
      
We can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) "  ;   as:

       =   " (4²x²)  −  (5²y²) " ; and further rewrite the expression:
________________________________________________________
Note:  
________________________________________________________
" (16x²) " ;  can be written as:  "(4x)² " ;

 ↔ " (4x)²  =  "(4²)(x²)" = 16x² "


Note:  The following property of exponents:

         →  (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ;    →  As such:  " 16x² = (4²x²) = (4x)² " . 
_______________________________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________________________

     →   " (25x²) " ;  can be written as:  " (5x)² " ; 

        ↔   "( 5x)²  =  "(5²)(x²)" = 25x² " ; 

Note:  The following property of exponents:

         →  (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ;    →  As such:  " 25x² = (5²x²) = (5x)² " . 
______________________________________________________

→  So, we can rewrite:  " (16x² − 25y²) " ;  

as:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;   
 
    → {Note:  We substitute: "(4x)² "  for "(16x²)" ; & "(5y)² "  for "(25y²)" .} . ; 
_______________________________________________________
→  We have:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;

→  Note that we are asked to "factor completely" ; 

→  Note that:  " x² − y² = (x + y) (x − y) " ;

      → {This property is known as the "<u>difference of squares</u>".}.

→ As such:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " = " (4x + 5y) (4x − 5y) " .
_______________________________________________________
Part B):  The answer is:  "The dimensions of the rectangle are:

                              " (4x + 5y) " units ;  AND:  " (4x − 5y)"  units."
