I don’t quite know about geometrically, but I’m sure this will help.

Algebraically: square both sides, as it negates the modulus(absolute value) brackets.
(x-1)^2=(x-2)^2
x^2-2x+1=x^2-4x+4
The x^2’s cancel out.
-2x+1=-4x+4
2x=3
X=1.5

I would show you the picture with the work but I am on my computer because I am charging my phone.. So, I will just show the work

15% = $\frac{15}{100} = \frac{30}{100}$ which gives you the whole quality of the number of 200

This is an example of

C. simultaneous causality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous causality eliminates the conclusion that is often taken for granted to the effect that one variable is a response variable while the other is an explanatory variable because the two variables, the price and the number of shares, influence each other at the same time. When more shares are traded than demanded in the stock market in any day, the price tends to go down, and vice versa.

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(-6,0); x=

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

$(y - k) {}^{2} = 4p(x - h)$

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.

or the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.

$\frac{ - 6 + 6)}{2} = 0$
