Answer:
x = 6.67 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Set upa s a proportion
x/60 = 1/9
x = 1/9 * 60
x = 6.67 inches
Hey there!!
In order to solve this equation, we will have to use the distributive property.
What is distributive property?
We will need to distribute one term to the other terms preset.
Example : 4 ( 3x - 1 )
sing distributive property, we will have to distribute the term outside the parenthesis to the terms inside. In this case, we will have to distribute 4 to 3x and -1
( 4 × 3x ) + ( 4 × -1 )
12x + ( -4 )
= 12x - 4
This is after implementing the distributive property.
Now moving back onto the question
4 ( x + 5 ) = 3 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 )
Let us first solve 4 ( x + 5 )
Distribute 4 to x and 5
( 4 × x ) + ( 4 × 5 )
4x + 20
Now let's solve 3 ( x - 2 )
Distribute 3 to x and -2
( 3 × x ) + ( 3 × - 2 )
3x - 6
Solve for -2 ( x + 2 )
Distribute -2 to x and 2
( -2 × x ) + ( -2 × 2 )
-2x - 4
Now, let's get everything back together
4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4
Combine all the like terms
4x + 20 = x - 10
Adding 10 on both sides
4x + 20 + 10 = x - 10 + 10
4x + 30 = x
Subtracting 4x on both sides
4x - 4x + 30 = x - 4x
30 = -3x
Dividing by -3 on both sides
30 / -3 = -3x / -3
- 10 = x
<h2>x = - 10 </h2><h3>Hope my answer helps!</h3>
The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
<span><span>D=<span><span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span></span><span>D=<span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span></span></span>
Example
Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).
This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:
<span><span>D=<span><span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span>=</span><span>D=<span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span>=</span></span>
<span><span>=<span><span>16+9</span><span>−−−−−</span>√</span>=<span>25<span>−−</span>√</span>=5</span><span>=<span>16+9</span>=25=5</span></span>
Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.
If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:
<span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span>
</span></span></span>
12/10, 1.2, and any of the infinite multiples of the fraction such as 24/20, 120/100 etc...
