You need to subtract everything to the left side and set it equal to zero. Combine like terms.
Then, the coefficient of x^2 is a, the coefficient of x is b, and the constant term is c.
4x^2 - 5 = 3x + 4
4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0
4x^2 - 3x - 9 = 0
a = 4; b = -3; c = -9


Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
90+30x+30y. This is because the first day, 90 labels were printed, then you will use 30 times x to find how many minutes. This is the same for 30 times y. Youre trying to figure out how many minutes each machine printed for.
So, what is the total lenght of the pieces that wer cut off?
we multiply the lenght by the number:
4

*5=20+

=21

and we subtract this from the original pipe, that is
30

-21

we need to bring the two fractions to the same denominator (by multiplying the fraction art in the first by 3 and 4 the second):
30

-21

=9

so the correct answer is D!
