I'll show a step-by-step. I'm not in the mood to explain right now lol.

2(x-2.6)+2.91=7.71

2x-5.2+2.91=7.71

+5.20 +5.20

2x+2.91=12.91

-2.91 -2.91

2x=10

/2 /2

x=5

hope it helps

Make a the subject of the formula:p=2a-3

IceJOKER [234]

To make a the subject we proceed as follows:
p=2a-3
add 3 on both sides
3+p=2a-3+3
simplifying the above gives us:
3+p=2a
divide both through by 2
3/2+p/2=(2a)/2
thus
a=3/2+p/2

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The shortest distance is 2.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shortest distance you must travel to reach the river is the perpendicular distance to the river

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$

The slope of the river is m=3

Remember that if two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the river is

$m=-1/3$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-1/3$

$point(2,1)$

substitute

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$

step 3

Find the intersection point of the river and the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$ ------> equation A

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The intersection point is (-0.1,1,7)

see the attached figure

step 3

Find the distance between the points (2,1) and (-0,1,1.7)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(1.7-1)^{2}+(-0.1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0.7)^{2}+(-2.1)^{2}}$

$d=2.2\ miles$
