Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic,
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
Let Angle A = X
Since Angle B is the same, angle B is also X
Then angle C = X +45
Add the 3 angles together: X +X +X +45 = 3x+45
That equals 180 degrees:
3x+45 = 180
Subtract 45 from both sides:
3x = 135
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 135/3
X = 45
Angle A = 45
Angle B = 45
Angle C = 45+45 = 90
y intercept : (0,6)
Explanation:
Use the formula:
. y = mx + b
Find m (the slope), using 2 random points of the graph: (-2,0) and (1,9)
. m = (y-y1) / (x-x1)
m = (0-9) / (-2-1)
m = -9 / -3
m = 3
Replace m in the equation:
. y = 3x + b
Find b by replacing y and x by a random point of the graph: (1,9)
. 9 = 3*1 + b
b = 9 - 3
b = 6
Replace b in the equation:
. y = 3x +6
To find the y-intercept replace x by 0 in the equation:
. y = 3*0 +6
y = 0+6
y = 6
=> y-intercept : (0,6)
