Answer:

-1/a

Step-by-step explanation:

If a doesn't equal 0 and the sum of x and 1/a is 0, what does x equal?

the sum of x and 1/a is expressed as;

x + 1/a

Equating this to zero

x + 1/a = 0

Find x:

Substract 1/a from bith sides

x + 1/a - 1/a = 0- 1/a

x = -1/a

Hence the value of x is -1/a

12 – 7x ≤-2 <br> solve and show work
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

x≥2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

12−7x≤−2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−7x+12≤−2

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

−7x+12−12≤−2−12

−7x≤−14

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

−7x/−7 ≤ −14/−7

x≥2

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6
Grace [21]
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
