Solve for x in the equation? a/(2x-c) = -1

Answer:

x = \frac{(a - c)}{-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a/(2x-c) = -1

The first step is to multiply both sides by (2x - c)

(2x - c)a/(2x-c) = -1(2x - c)

a = -2x + c

a - c = -2x + c - c

a - c = -2x

Divide both side by -2

(a - c)/-2 = x

∴ x = \frac{(a - c)}{-2}

Answer:

\frac{c-a}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given \frac{a}{2x-c} = - 1 ( cross- multiply )

- (2x - c ) = a ( distribute left side )

- 2x + c = a ( subtract c from both sides )

- 2x = a - c ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

2x = c - a ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{c-a}{2}

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0,6) B(4,6) C(1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the s
Allisa [31]

For line B to AC:  y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 4);  y - 6 = (x/3) - (4/3); 3y - 18 = x - 4, so 3y - x = 14

For line A to BC:  y - 6 = (-1)(x - 0);  y - 6 = -x, so y + x = 6

Since these lines intersect at one point (the orthocenter), we can use simultaneous equations to solve for x and/or y:

(3y - x = 14) + (y + x = 6) =>  4y = 20, y = +5;  Substitute this into y + x = 6:  5 + x = 6, x = +1

<span>So the orthocenter is at coordinates (1,5), and the slopes of all three orthocenter lines are above.</span>

How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root lf a number? Use the number 64 in your explainatio
xenn [34]

If you want to know the concept of square roots and cube roots ?

the square root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself two times gives us that number

e.g.

√64 = x , so that (x)(x) = 64

and from our multiplication table we know that

(8)(8) = 64 , so that

√64 = 8

the cube root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself three times gives us that number

e.g.

∛64 = x , so that (x)(x)(x) = 64 , and thus x = 4 because 4x4x4 = 64

so ∛64 = 4
