Let's set it up like this:

Multiply both sides by



We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:

The variable

can be both positive or negative.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Arc DV is 100°, so any inscribed angle that intercepts that arc will have a measure that is half of 100°, or 50°.
Inscribed angles DCV and VBD both intercept arc DV, so both are 50°.
Answer:
figure skates will be $1 cheaper.
Explanation:
<u>given equation</u>:
- to rent figure skates : f(x) = 1.50x + 2
- to rent hockey skates : h(x) = 2x +1.5
<u>solve for rent of figure skates</u>:
f(x) = 1.50x + 2.00
f(3) = 1.50(3) + 2.00
f(3) = 6.5
<u>solve for rent of hockey skates</u>:
h(x) = 2x + 1.5
h(3) = 2(3) +1.5
h(3) = 7.5
<u>cheaper - figure skates than hockey skates</u>:
$7.5 - $6.5
$1
I would say read it well and then write down an equation or expression to represent the data so its easier for you to understand and/or solve.
