<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of DP is:

                      DP=14 units

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Point P is the midpoint of DE.

DP =3x + 2 and DE = 10x - 12.

We know that a midpoint divides the given line segment into two equal parts (i.e. it bisects a line segment)

Hence, we have:

DP+PE=DE

Also, DP=PE

This means that:

2DP=DE

2(3x+2)=10x-12

2×(3x)+2×2=10x-12

6x+4=10x-12

10x-6x=4+12

4x=16

x=16/4

x=4

Hence,

DP=3x+2=3×4+2

i.e.

DP=14

If P <span>is the midpoint of DE then 
DE = 2(DP)
10x - 12 = 2(3x + 2)
10x - 12 = 6x + 4
10x - 6x = 4 + 12
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

DP = 3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 units</span>

John owes 15 dollars to Bill, then another 2 dollars to Joey. How much money does John have?

Since John has 0 dollars to give, he has (-15)+(-2) =-17 dollars (as 15+2=17, so the same can be applied negatively) as the first 17 dollars he gets has to be given to Bill and Joey

What is the vertex?? Please answer QUICK!
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain vertex form from the given equation use the method of completing the square

given 8y + x² = - y² - 181 + 26x

rearrange having the x terms and y terms together

add y² to both sides

8y + x² + y² = - 181 + 26x ( subtract 26x from both sides )

x² - 26x + y² + 8y = - 181

add (half the coefficient of the x/y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 13)x + 169 +y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 181 + 169 + 16

completing the square on both the x and y terms

(x - 13)² + (y + 4)² = 4 → D
