Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint of a line means that each segment connecting from the midpoint to an end is equal. For this problem, this means that AB = BC, as B is the midpoint, and A and B are the ends. Therefore, we can say that:

AB = BC

2x + 6 = 5x - 3

add 3 to both sides

2x + 9 = 5x

subtract 2x from both sides

9 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3 = x

Plugging 3=x into AB, this means that 2(3) + 6 = AB = 12

How many solution does this have and how do you solve it

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of solutions a system has, you need its slope. If the slopes are the same, check if the equations are equivalent or not.

To find the slope, rearrange the equation to isolate "y", which makes it slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

"x" and "y" represent points on the line.

"m" represents the slope, which is how steep a line is.

"b" represents the y-intercept (where the graph hits the y-axis).

Isolate "y" in both equations:

x + 3y = 0

3y = -x Subtract 'x' from both sides

y = -x/3 Divide both sides by 3.

y = $-\frac{1}{3}x$

The slope is -1/3.

9y = -3x

y = -3x/9 Divide both sides by 9

y = $-\frac{3}{9}x$ Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

y = $-\frac{1}{3}x$

The slope is -1/3, but the two equations are the same.

Since the equations are the same, or equivalent, the two lines are always touching. The solution of a system means where two lines intersect, or meet. Therefore, there are infinite solutions.

Derik earns $10.00 per hour. He works 35 hours per week. How much will he earn in two weeks? If he spends $50, how much will Der

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

650

Step-by-step explanation:

so the way I did this was by adding how much he works per week which is 35 per week. so he works 70 hours in 2 weeks. he earns 10 dollars per hour. so 10 times 70 you get 700 but he spends 50. so 700 minus 50. you get 650. he has 650 dollars left.

H(t)=-16(t-1)^2+16 What is the maximum height the ball reaches and how long does it take?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Given t = time and h = height

$h(t) = - 16(t - 1)^{2} + 16$

From the equation.

$y = a(x - h)^{2} + k$

h is the axis od symmetry

(h, k) is the vertex.

In the equation, h is 1 and k is 16.

So the maximum value is 16 at t = 1.

The ball reaches maximum at 16 and it takes t = 1 to reach the maximum point.

Find the slope and reduce of p=(3/4,1 1/4) q=(-1/2,-1)

sergij07 [2.7K]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
p&({{ \frac{3}{4}}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{1}{4}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
q&({{ -\frac{1}{2}}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-\frac{1}{4}}{-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}\quad \cfrac{\leftarrow LCD=4}{\leftarrow LCD=4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{-4-1}{4}}{\frac{-2\cdot 1-3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{-5}{4}}{\frac{-5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{-5}\implies 1$
