Solve the following equation for x 5(x - 1) = -45

Mathematics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

solution: x = -8

Step by step:

1) 5x-5+5 = -45+5 : Add 5 to both sides

2) 5x= -40 : Simplify

3) 5x/5 = -40/5 : Divide both sides

Hope that helps

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph? Graph of a line on a coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis rang
salantis [7]
The 2-point form of the equation of a line is
.. y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)*(x -x1) +y1
For your points (x1, y1) = (0, 3) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5), this is
.. y = (5 -3)/(3 -0)*(x -0) +3
.. y = (2/3)x +3

Written as a function, it is
.. f(x) = (2/3)x +3

<em>Identify</em>

x + (3x - 4) = 5 - (-7 - 3x)

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

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute negative:                                                    x + 3x - 4 = 5 + 7 + 3x
  2. [Addition] Combine like terms:                                                                        4x - 4 = 12 + 3x
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3x on both sides:                      x - 4 = 12
  4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides:                                     x = 16

Quadrilateral ABCD is transformed to create A'B'C'D'. Match the coordinates of A' with the transformations that create it
SashulF [63]

The three basic types of rigid transformations are rotation, reflection and translation transformation

The correct options are;

Quadrilateral ABCD is reflected over the x-axis → (2, 4)

Quadrilateral ABCD translated 2 units right and 1 unit down → (4, -5)

Quadrilateral ABCD dilated about the origin by a scale factor of 3 → (6, -12)

Quadrilateral ABCD rotated 180° clockwise about the origin → (-2, 4)

The reasons the above matches are correct are as follows:

The given coordinates of the preimage are A(2, -4)

The image of (x, y) following a reflection over the x-axis is (x, -y)

Therefore

  • A(2, -4) in Quadrilateral ABCD is reflected over the x-axis → A'(2, 4)

The image of (x, y) following a translation of 2 units right and 1 unit down → (x + 2, y - 1)

Therefore;

  • A(2, -4) in Quadrilateral ABCD translated 2 units right and 1 unit down → A'(4, -5)

The image of (x, y) following a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 3 is (3×x, 3×y)

Therefore;

  • A(2, -4) in Quadrilateral ABCD dilated about the origin by a scale factor of 3 → A'(6, -12)

The image of the point (x, y) rotated 180° clockwise about the origin is (-x, -y)

Therefore;

  • A(2, -4) in Quadrilateral ABCD rotated 180° clockwise about the origin → A'(-2, 4)
