Answer: The opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself. And the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be 33 3/4.
O is the midpoint so both sides FO and OG need to equal each other.
3x + 17 = 7x - 15
Subtract 3x from both sides:
17 = 4x -15
Add 15 to both sides:
32 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 32/4
X = 8
Now you have the value of X, solve for the lengths:
FO = 3x +17 = 3(8) +17 = 24 +17 = 41
OG = 7x -15 = 7(8) -15 = 56-15 = 41
Total length would be 41 + 41 = 82
A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2 = 3(4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10
