Answer:

7x -1 is correct after combining like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

6+8x-7-x

To simplify algebraic expression we combine like terms

In the given expression

-x or -1x are same

8x and -1x are like terms

6 and -7 are also like terms

8x-1x= 7x

6 - 7 = -1

So 7x -1 is correct after combining like terms

The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

$|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of AD is

$|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of BC is:

$|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of CD is

$|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{20}$

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB $=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of BC $=\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be a square. It is a rhombus

Solve. <br> {2x+7y=2}<br> {x+y=-1}

MaRussiya [10]

So you need to do substitution. First solve the easier equation for 1 variable.
x+y=-1 now subtract x to get y=-x-1. Then plug this into the top equation to get 2x+7(-x-1)=2. Next distribute to get 2x+-7x-7=2. Now combine like terms to get -5x=9 so x=-5/9. Now you have to plug this back into the original equation to get y. 2(-5/9)+7y=2, so -10/9 +7y=2. No move terms around to get 7y=28/9 then divide by 7 to get y= 4/9
