Answer:

$x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$WX = x + 5$

$XY = 3x - 13,$

Required

Find x

To do this, I will assume $WX = XY$ .

So, we have:

$x + 5 = 3x - 13$

Collect Like Terms

$x - 3x = -5 - 13$

$-2x = -18$

Divide by -2

$x = 9$

How many solutions are there to the equation below? 4(x-5)=4x-24

blondinia [14]

It is a linear equation so there can be 1 solution, 0 solutions, or infinite solutions

4(x-5)=4x-24

distribute

4x -20 = 4x-24

subtract 4x from each side

-20 = -24

What is the midpoint of the x-intercepts of f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 4)? (0,0) (0,4) (–4,0) (2,0)

forsale [732]

Answer:

The midpoint of the x-intercepts of the function is (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that since the function comes in factor form, we know that its roots (which are actually the intercepts the function has with the x-axis) are: x = 4 and x = -4 (the x-values for which the function renders zero).

These two points are equidistant from the origin of coordinates (0, 0), and therefore the midpoint of these x-intercepts is (0, 0).
