Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

7(2x - 5) = 21

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute 7:                   2x - 5 = 3
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                2x = 8
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                         x = 4

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                  7(2(4) - 5) = 21
  2. Multiply:                             7(8 - 5) = 21
  3. Subtract:                            7(3) = 21
  4. Multiply:                             21 = 21

Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the equation.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters. What is the length of the base?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for perimeter is<u> 2(l+w) or l+l+w+w</u>

We know that the height is 5 cm so that means <em><u>w= 5</u></em> also that there is 5 cm on both sides of the rectangle. So 5+5=10 so that means that the length of the rectangle is <em><u>1 cm</u></em> if you add the length together you 2 when you add the width you get 10. <em>10+2=12.</em>

I have ₹355.50 in my pocket . i purchased a shirt for ₹ 235.50 and a pair of socks for ₹ 22.65. How much money is left with me n
Korolek [52]

Answer:

97.35

Step-by-step explanation:

355.5 - 235.5 -22.65

I am subtracting 235.5 and 22.65  from 355.5 because I am spending that much money on the things.

=> 355.5 - 235.5 - 22.65

=> 120 - 22.65

=> 97.35 rupees

So, 97.35 rupees is left

Zzyzx Road is in California near Nevada. How many five-letter arrangements of the letters in the English alphabet follow Zzyzx a
Gemiola [76]
This problem can be solved using the concepts of permutation.

Zzyzx is the word. It has five letters. It asked as to how many five-letter arrangements of the letters in the English alphabet follow Zzyzx alphabetically.

Take note: <span>alphabetically
</span>
The two remaining five-letter after Zzyzx are Zzyzy and Zzyzz.
The remaining arrangements are of the form Zzz _ _.
There are 26 × 26 = 676 ways to fill in the last two letters, so following Zzyzx alphabetically, there are 2 + 676 = 678 arrangements.

Write an equation of the hyperbola given that the center is at (2, -3), the vertices are at (2, 3) and (2, - 9), and the foci ar
zavuch27 [327]
Check the picture below.

so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).

because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }&#10;\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;center\ ( h, k)\\&#10;vertices\ ( h,  k\pm a)\\&#10;c=\textit{distance from}\\&#10;\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\&#10;\qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2}\\&#10;asymptotes\quad  y= k\pm \cfrac{a}{b}(x- h)&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;h=2\\&#10;k=-3\\&#10;a=6\\&#10;c=2\sqrt{10}&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[y- (-3)]^2}{ 6^2}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies (2\sqrt{10})^2=6^2+b^2\implies 2^2(\sqrt{10})^2=36+b^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;4(10)=36+b^2\implies 40=36+b^2\implies 4=b^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt{4}=b\implies 2=b\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 2^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 4}=1
