Answer:-12x+24

Step-by-step explanation:Since an answer was not provided to solve the equation you can only simplify it. You would multiply 3 by -4x to get -12x. You would then multiply 3 by 8 to get 24. You do these first 2 steps because of distributive property. You would add -12x+24. If an answer is not provided you cannot simplify this any further. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Use Distributive Property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 3 times -4x to equal -12x

Multiply 3 times (+8) to equal 24

-12x + 24 =

Subtract 24 from each side

-12x + 24 -24 = -24

Divide both sides by -12

-12x/-12 = -24/-12

x = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the coordinates of a quadrilateral that is G(1,-1), H(5,1), I(4,3) and J(0,1).

Now, before proving that this quadrilateral is a rectangle, we will prove that it is a parallelogram. For this, we will prove that the mid points of the diagonals of the quadrilateral are equal, thus

Join JH and GI such that they form the diagonals of the quadrilateral.Now,

JH= $\sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}=5$ and

GI= $\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}=5$

Now, mid point of JH= $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

= $(\frac{5+0}{2},\frac{1+1}{2})=(\frac{5}{2},1)$

Mid point of GI= $(\frac{5}{2},1)$

Since, mid point point of JH and GI are equal, thus GHIJ is a parallelogram.

Now, to prove that it is a rectangle, it is sufficient to prove that it has a right angle by using the Pythagoras theorem.

Thus, From ΔGIJ, we have

$(GI)^{2}=(IJ)^{2}+(JG)^{2}$ (1)

Now, JI= $\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{20}$ and GJ= $\sqrt{(0-1)^{2}+(1+1)^{2}}=\sqrt{5}$

Substituting these values in (1), we get

$5^{2}=(\sqrt{20})^{2}+(\sqrt{5})^{2} }$

$25=20+5$

$25=25$

Thus, GIJ is a right angles triangle.

Hence, GHIJ is a rectangle.

Also, The diagonals GI= $\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}=5$ and HJ= $\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(1-1)^2}=5$ are equal, thus, GHIJ is a rectangle.

Answer:

(y-8) = -1/2(x+17)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (-2 - 8) / (3 - (-17)) = -10 / 20 = -1/2
