<u>Answer</u>

5 and -4


<u>Explanation</u>

If the two triangle are congruent then they have the same area.

20 = x² - x

x² - x - 20 = 0

x² - x + (1/2)² = 20 + (1/2)²

(x - 1/2)² = 20.25

x - 1/2 = √20.25

x - 1/2 = 4.5                             or    x - 1/2 = - 4.5

x = 4 1/2 + 1/2                                      x = -4 1/2 + 1/2

   = 5                                                      = -4

The values of x are 5 and -4.

write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope (10,-9);m=-2​
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y + 9 =  - 2(x - 10)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line given a point and slope we use the formula

<h3>y - y1 = m(x - x1)</h3>

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question

Slope / m = - 2

The point is ( 10, - 9)

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's the final answer is

<h3>y + 9 =  - 2(x - 10)</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find the sum or difference of (2m+7)-(3-4m)
pickupchik [31]
(2m + 7) - (3 - 4m) 

First distribute the (-) in front of the quantity of 3 - 4m. 
Think of it as this: 

-1(3 - 4m) 

You multiply each number inside the parenthesis by -1. 

So: 

3*-1 = -3
-4m * -1 = 4m

Now that you've distributed the negative you can remove the parenthesis. 
Now you'll just set it all up like you would any normal problem. Because -3 is negative you'll make it subtract.... I'll show you what I mean: 

2m + 7 - 3 +  4m 

Combine like terms (Terms which have the same variables... in this case the same number of m's)

Rearranging them can help!

4m + 2m + 7 - 3 

6m + 7 - 3

6m + 4, is our difference!
