A----------D----------C
AD = 2x + 6
DC = 4x - 7
the midpoint D splits AC into 2 equal parts....therefore, AD = DC
2x + 6 = 4x - 7
2x - 4x = -7 - 6
-2x = - 13
x = -13/-2
x = 6.5
DC = 4x - 7......4(6.5) - 7 = 19 <===
AD = 2x + 6.....2(6.5) + 6 = 19
Hey, It looks like you're in Algebra and I'm here to give the best solution I can!
To write the equation, you are going to use the Standard Form. Standard Form is one way of solving this problem, and it is used to find the x,and y-intercepts of a problem.
Standard Form can be written using the equation <span>ax+by=c
</span>In your problem, you will write the equation like so, with 'x' representing T-Shirts, and 'y' representing pants:
<span>
8x+5y=220</span>
Now, in order to find the x-intercept you need to substitute a 0 for the 'y' variable and solve the new equation, 8x=220.
I'm sure you know you need to divide both sides by 8 which will give you the answer x=27.5.
Now, in order to find 'y' you would substitute a 0 for the 'x' variable which will give you an equation that should look like 5y=220.
Then, divided both sides by 5 to get your y-intercept.
y=44
Finally,you know that each T-Shirt (x) is $27.50, and each pair of pants(y)costs $44
-I hope this helped you, Sincerely, Auhrevo!
we know that
when you want to figure out a tip, you take your total bill and multiply it by the percentage you would like to tip them
so
15%=15/100------> 0.15
$63*0.15=$9.45
the answer is
$9.45
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
