What is the value of x in the equation 5(3x + 4) = 23?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

5(3x + 4) = 23

(5 * 3x) + (5 * 4) = 23

(15x) + 20 = 23

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 20 from both sides</u>

(15x) + 20 - 20 = 23 - 20

15x = 3

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 15</u>

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{3}{15}

x = \frac{1}{5}

x = 0.2

Answer:  x = 0.2

Answer:

x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3x + 4) = 23

Distribute

15x+20 = 23

Subtract 20 from each side

15x+20-20 = 23-20

15x = 3

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 3/15

x = 1/5

What's the midpoint of a line segment joining the points (5, –4) and (–13, 12)?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the coordinate points of a line that can help us find the midpoint.

The midpoint formula for a line is written as:

\bullet \ \ \ \displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)

Additionally, we are given the coordinate points (5, -4) and (-13, 12). We can use these and label them with the (x, y) system so we can substitute them into the formula.

In math, a coordinate pair is written as (x, y). This is where cos = x and sin = y. If we are given two coordinate pairs, we can label them with the (x, y) system but also incorporating a subscript to distinguish the two x-values from each other as well as the y-values. We do this by turning the two x-values into x₁ and x₂ and the y-values follow the same protocol: y₁ and y₂.

Therefore, we can label our two coordinates:

<u>(5, -4)</u>

  • x₁ = 5
  • y₁ = -4

<u>(-13, 12)</u>

  • x₂ = -13
  • y₂ = 12

Now, we can place these values into the midpoint formula and simplify to find our midpoint.

Recall that the midpoint formula is:

\bullet \ \ \ \displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)

Therefore, let's substitute these values.

\displaystyle\big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\big)\\\\\\\big(\frac{5 + (-13)}{2}, \frac{(-4)+12}{2}\big)\\\\\\\big(\frac{-8}{2}, \frac{8}{2}\big)\\\\\\\boxed{(-4, 4)}

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4), which is Option A.

What is the axis of symmetry for f(x) = 2x2 − 4x + 5?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Axis of symmetry is

C) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given equation as

2x^2 -4x+5

we can use axis of symmetry formula

Let's assume we are given quadratic equation as

y=ax^2+bx+c

Axis of symmetry is

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

now, we can compare both equations

and we get

a=2,b=-4

now, we can find axis of symmetry

x=-\frac{(-4)}{2\times 2}

x=-\frac{(-4)}{4}

x=1

Please help will mark branlist!!
insens350 [35]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the diagram, we see that four angles are formed by the intersection of two lines. The angles highlighted in blue and green are therefore, vertical angles. We know that vertical angles have equal angle measures meaning that in this case, the measure of the blue angle is equal to the measure of the green angle. Using this, we can now solve for x:

7x+49=2x+94

7x-2x=94-49

5x=45

x=45/5

x=9
