Answer:

2x - 12 =  - 52 \\ 2x =  - 52 + 12 \\ 2x =  - 40 \\ \boxed{x =  - 20}

  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2x - 12 = -52

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

  1. Add 12 on both sides:                     2x = -40
  2. Divide 2 on both sides:                   x = -20

<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>:                      2(-20) - 12 = -52
  2. Multiply:                                 -40 - 12 = -52
  3. Subtract:                                -52 = -52

Here we see that -52 does indeed equal -52.

∴ x = -20 is the solution to the equation.

Solve the system of equations by graphing: -1/3x + y=-1, y=4+1/3x
Arada [10]

-\frac{1}{3}x + y = -1   ⇒   y = \frac{1}{3}x - 1

To graph this line, plot a point at the y-intercept (0, -1), than plot the next point using the rise over run from the slope (\frac{1}{3}) by counting up 1 and to the right 3 of the y-intercept.  This gives you a second point of (3. 0).  Draw a line through those two coordinates.

Answer: Plot (0, -1) and (3, 0) and draw a line through them.

***************************************************************************************

y = 4 +  \frac{1}{3}x    ⇒   y =  \frac{1}{3}x  + 4

Same as above.  Plot the y-intercept (0, 4) and then use rise over run from the slope to plot (3, 5).

Answer: Plot (0, 4) and (3, 5) and draw a line through them.

***********************************************************************************

You should end up with two PARALLEL lines.  Since the lines never intersect, there are no solutions to this system of equations.

Answer: No Solution

The length of a yearbook is 10 inches. The top margin is 1/2 inches and the bottom margin is 3/4 inch. What is the length of the
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The length of the page inside the margins=8 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the year book can be expressed as;

L=l1+l2+l3

where;

L=Total length of yearbook

l1=top margin length

l2=inside margin length

l3=bottom margin length

In our case;

L=10 inches

l1=1/2 inches

l2=unknown

l3=3/4 inches

replacing;

10=(1/2)+l2+(3/4)

(1/2)+(3/4)+l2=10

(5/4)+l2=10

l2=(10)-(5/4)

l2=8 3/4 inches

The length of the page inside the margins=8 3/4 inches

Amy needs to order a shade for a triangular-shaped window that has a base of 6 feet and a height of 8 feet. What is the area of
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three edges and three vertices

There are different types of triangles. They include :

  • Right angled triangle - one of the angles measure 90 degrees
  • equilateral triangle - all three sides of the triangle are equal
  • isosceles triangle - two sides of the triangle are equal

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x ( base x height)

1/2 x (6 x 8) = 24 ft²
