Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.

Therefore:

$5x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Let's find the value of x

Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.

$5x - 7x = - 2 - 6$

$-2x = -8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.

PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

➷ 3.5 + x = 7

We need to isolate x

Subtract 3.5 from both sides:

x = 3.5

Dale currently has $599 in his savings account. Prior to getting paid, he had $230 in his savings account. How much was Dale’s p

Hi!

So really focus on the fact that he started at $230, and then added an amount of money which we'll call x, which made his total equal $599.

Take the parts I put in bold, and write the equation.
$230 + x = $599

Now we need to find x.

Whatever we do to the equation, we do it to both sides.
Our goal is to isolate x on one side.

Subtract 230 from both sides.
$230 - $230 + x = $599 - $230
x = $369

The answer is A. $230 + x = $599 x = $369

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$-7x^{2} -3x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-2x^2-5x-7) - (5x^2-2x-5)\\\\-2x^2 - 5x^2 = -7 x^2\\-5x - -2x = -3x\\-7 - -5 = -2 \\Result: -7x^2-3x-2$

4,12,20, 28 nth term

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

8n - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers here go up in 8, so you have 8n. Afterwards, use the term and the 8 times tables. Eg. 4 is the first term and the first 8 multiple is 8, so 4-8. You have to subtract 4 from 8 to get the first term. Sorry if this didn't help but yeah...
