Answer:

Equation:

2(a+9) = a/2

Solve:

The umber is:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

2(a+9) = a/2

Solve:

2*a + 2*9 = a/2

2a + 18 = a/2

2a - a/2 = -18

4a/2 - a/2 = -18

3a/2 = -18

a = -18*2/3

a = -12

Check:

2(-12+9) = -12/2

2(-3) = -12/2 = -6

Find the equation of the straight line through (3,4) and (5,6).
Viktor [21]

Answer:

y= x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Gradient of line = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

Using the above formula,

Gradient

=  \frac{6 - 4}{5 - 3}  \\  =  \frac{2}{2}   \\ = 1

Thus m=1. Substitute m=1 into the equation:

y= 1x +c

y= x +c

Susbt. a coordinate.

When x=3, y=4,

4= 3 +c

c= 4-3

c=1

Thus, the equation of the line is y= x+1.

(7.5)What is the value of x?
koban [17]

Answer:

D 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the same scaling factor s applies to all sides when transforming from the small to the large triangle.

x×s = x + 5

(x-2)×s = x +1

=> s = (x+5)/x

=> (x-2)×(x+5)/x = x + 1

=> x² + 3x - 10 = x² + x

=> 3x - 10 = x

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5
