Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Base angles of Isosceles triangles are equal.

Equation

That means that 8x + 14 = 14x - 15

Solution

8x + 14 = 14x - 15 Add 15 to both sides

8x + 14+15 = 14x Combine

8x + 29 = 14x Subtract 8x from both sides

8x - 8x + 29 = 14x - 8x Combine

29 = 6x Divide by 6

x = 29/6

x = 4 5/6

Answer

x = 4 5/6 or 4.833

8x + 14 = 8 * (4 5/6) + 14

8x + 14 = 38 2/3 + 14

8x + 14 = 52 2/3 or 52.6666

14x - 15 = 14 *(4 5/6) - 15

14x - 15 = 67 2/3 -15

14x - 15 = 52 2/3 or 52.666

Answer:

$(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1$

$(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4$

$(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Which equals $x = 4$

$(a)\ 2x + 6 = 2$

Collect like terms

$2x = 2 - 6$

$2x = -4$

Divide both sides by 2

$x = -2$

$(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1$

Collect like terms

$2x = -1 + 9$

$2x = 8$

Divide both sides by 2

$x = 4$

$(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4$

Collect like terms

$-2x =- 12 + 4$

$-2x =-8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

$(d)\ 2(x + 2) = 10$

Divide both sides by 2

$x + 2 =5$

Collect like terms

$x = 5-2$

$x = 3$

$(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12$

Divide both sides by 2

$x - 10 = -6$

Collect like terms

$x = 10 - 6$

$x = 4$

Hence, the equations with the required solution are:

$(b)\ 2x - 9 = -1$

$(c)\ -2x + 12 = 4$

$(e)\ 2(x - 10) = -12$

In 1990 the average family income was about $ 39 , 000 , and in 2010 it was about $ 70 , 768 . Let x = 0 represent 1990, x = 1 r

Answer:

 $f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000$ 

$f(15) = 62826$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In 1990; Income= $39000

In 2010; Income= $70768

Solving (a): An equation in form of f(x) = ax + b

First, we need to determine the slope, a

$a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Taking y as income and x as year index.

When x = 0; y = 39000

When x = 20; y = 70768

Substitute these values in the above formula

$a = \frac{70768 - 39000}{20 - 0}$

$a = \frac{31768}{20}$

$a = 1588.4$

Next, is to determine the formula using:

$y - y_1 = a(x - x_1)$

Considering :When x = 0; y = 39000, we have

 $y - 39000 = 1588.4(x - 0)$ 

 $y - 39000 = 1588.4x$ 

Make y the subject of formula

 $y = 1588.4x + 39000$ 

Express y as a function of x

 $f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000$ 

Solving (b): Income in 2005

In 2005, x = 15

So:

$f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000$ becomes

$f(15) = 1588.4 * 15 + 39000$

$f(15) = 62826$
