Answer:

The required value of x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution, see the attached figure :

The given three points are collinear to each other and the point P lies somewhere between the end points of the line MN

So, to find the value of x we can use the relation : Sum of Mid segments PM and PN is equal to complete length of the line segment MN

⇒ PN + PM = MN

⇒ 6·x + 2·x - 5 = 5·x + 4

⇒ 8·x - 5·x = 4 + 5

⇒ 3·x = 9

⇒ x = 3

Hence, The required value of x = 3

What is the resulting equation when the expression for y in the second equation is substituted into the first equation? 3x y = 1
Natali5045456 [20]

After putting the value of y from the second equation to the first equation, the resultant equation is x=5.

GIven:

The equations are:

3x + y = 1\\
y = 6 - 4x

It is required to put the value of y from second equation to the first equation.

<h3>How to solve equations?</h3>

The value of y from the second equation is,

&#10;y = 6 - 4x

Now, put this value of y in the first equation as,

3x + y = 1\\&#10;3x+(6 - 4x)=1\\&#10;3x+6-4x=1\\&#10;-x=-5\\&#10;x=5

Therefore, after putting the value of y from the second equation to the first equation, the resultant equation is x=5.

The vertices of a triangle are located at X(-2,-1), Y(2,5) and Z(4,3). What is the perimeter of this triangle?
Lana71 [14]
If you plot the points you will find you have to use the distance formula. Pick out 2 pairs label them (x1,y1) (x2,y2) then plug it into the distance formula. The repeat for the other sides. So you should get (2,5) (4,3) plug into distance formula what is get it distance between those two points, then (4,3) (-2,-1) plug into distance formula to get an answer, lastly (-2,-1) (2,5) plug in. Now you have three answers add all together and here is your perimeter of a triangle.
