ANSWER: x = 1

1. Distribute the 4 into (2x-1). 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4.
2. Add the like terms. 5x + 2 = 11x - 4.
3. Subtract 5x on both sides. 2 = 6x - 4.
4. Add 4 on both sides. 6 = 6x
5. Divide 6 on both sides. x = 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

5x+2=3x+4(2x-1)

Distribute the 4 into (2x-1):

5x+2=3x+8x-4

Combine like terms:

5x+2=11x-4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

5x+6=11x

Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation:

6=6x

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 6:

1=x

or

x=1

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the same-side exterior angles are supplementary. That means that their sum is 180.

Using that logic, if the two roads were parallel, then the sum of their same-side exterior angles will add up to 180. Yet their same-side exterior angles add up to 170 (130 + 40 = 170), hence they can't be parallel.

See the drawing attached below.

Using supplmenatry angles (two angles whose sum of measures add up to 180 or a straight line), we can say that:

m<DIE + m<HID = 18

40 + m<HID = 180

m<HID = 140

Similarly:

m<BHC + m<CHI = 180

130 + m<CHI = 180

m<CHI = 50

Using verticle angles therome, (when two lines intersect, the angles opposite to eachother are congruent, or have the same measure), we can say that:

m<DIE = m<GIH = 40

m<GIE = m<HID = 140

m<CHI = m<AHB = 50

m<BHC = m<AHI = 130

A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-
seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let A(x,y) = (14,21) and B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A}). The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A}) (1)

Where:

x_{A}, y_{A} - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

m - Slope, dimensionless.

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}} (2)

If we know that x_{A} = 14 and y_{A} = 21, then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)

x_{B} = 17.5

y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)

y_{B} = 15.75

From (2):

m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}

m = -\frac{3}{2}

By (1):

y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14).
