Every positive number has two square roots - a positive and a negative (unless the value is 0).
The length of something can only be a positive number and since there is only one positive square root, there is only one answer.
The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.
15x + 7 = 23x - 17
7 = 8x - 17
8x = 24
x = 3
Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52
Hope this helps!
That’s right they both equal 67
Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
Answer:
(-0.5,-2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
- (x1 + x2) / 2 = x midpoint
- (y1 + y2) / 2 = y midpoint
<h3>X:</h3>
⇒ 2 + -3 = 5
⇒ 5 / 2 = -0.5
<h3>Y:</h3>
⇒ 4 + -9 = -5
⇒ -5 / 2 = -2.5
→ = (-0.5, -2.5)
