Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

From the way you were referring to the x-values as plural, I assumed there were multiple x-values and multiple points of intersection, but these are linear equations, so one x-value it is!

Simply f(x)=2(x-1)-5 into f(x)=2x-7. Just plug in 2x-7, in order to make it equal to -2x+1. That would make the equation 2x-7=-2x+1. Add 7 to both sides to make it 2x=-2x+8. Add 2x to both sides to make it 4x=8. Divide 4 to both sides and that results with x=2.

Answer:

<h3>              x = 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

These are equations of lines with different slopes, so there is only one point of their intersect.

The point of intersect is where f(x) = g(x).

2(x - 1) - 5 = - 2x + 1

 +2x            +2x

2x - 2 - 5 + 2x = 1

       +7               +7

          4x = 8

        ÷4     ÷4

          <u>x = 2</u>

Write and solve an inequality to find the values of x for which the perimeter of the rectangle is less than 120.
RSB [31]

Answer:

Inequality : 4x+8 < 120

x<28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Perimeter of a rectangle (P)= 2 length +2 width

Where:

Width = x

Length = x+4

Replacing with the values given

P = 2 (x+4) + 2x

P = 2x+8+2x

P=4x+8

Since the perimeter of the rectangle must be less than 120:

4x+8 < 120

Solving for x

4x<120-8

4x<112

x<112/4

x<28

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, kid mother grandparents lawn together for 60 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in 20
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Bobby around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem it is important to raise equations regarding what happens.

 They tell us that Billy (Bi) and Bobby (Bo) can mow the lawn in 60 minutes. That is to say that what they prune in a minute is giving as follows:

1 / Bo + 1 / Bi = 1/60 (1)

They say Billy could mow the lawn only in 20 minutes less than it would take Bobby, therefore

1 / Bi = 1 / (Bo-20) (2)

Replacing (2) in (1) we have:

1 / Bo + 1 / (Bo-20) = 1/60

Resolving

(Bo - 20 + B0) / (Bo * (Bo-20) = 1/60

120 * Bo - 1200 = Bo ^ 2 - 20Bo

Rearranging:

Bo ^ 2 - 140Bo -1200 = 0

Now applying the general equation

Bo = 130.82 or Bo = 9.17, <em>this last value cannot be because Billy took 20 minutes less and neither can he prune faster than the two together</em>, therefore Bobby only takes around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes

Checking with equation 1:

1/131 +1/111 = ~ 1/60

Hot dogs come in packages of 8. hot dog buns come in packages of 12. if grace wants to have enough to serve 24 people and have n
OLga [1]
She would by 3 packages of hot dogs and 2 packages of hot dog buns. This is because 3*8 would be 24 and 12*2 is also 24. These would both be the minimum amount of packages.

a quadrilateral has 2 right angles. the measure of the third angle is 73, what is the measure of the forth angle?
hoa [83]

Answer: 107 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is defined as a 2-dimensional closed shape which has four sides and four vertices.

By definition the interior angles of a quadrilateral add up 360 degrees.

We know that this quadrilateral has 2 right angles (which are angles that measure 90 degrees) and we know that the measure of the third angle is 73 degrees.

Let be "x" the measure of the fourth angle.

Then you can write this expression:

360\°=90\°+90\°+73\°+x

And finally solve for "x":

 360\°=253\°+x

360\°-253\°=x

x=107\°
