Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 4y = 2a

slope of line is -5/4

4x - 5y = 2

slope of line is 4/5

Since the lines have different slopes, they intersect. There is exactly one solution, regardless of the value of a.

3 (x+2)= 6 (x-1) +3
zzz [600]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 2) = 6(x - 1) + 3

Divide both sides by 3.

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

Distribute the 2 on the right side.

x + 2 = 2x - 2 + 1

Combine like terms on the right side.

x + 2 = 2x - 1

Add 1 to both sides. Subtract x from both sides.

3 = x

x = 3

A, C, and D are collinear, and C is between A and D.If AC = 3x + 1, CD = 15, and AD = 10x - 5, what is the value of x?
Elanso [62]

1) Sketching it

Since the line segment AD = 10x -5 and AC= 3x +1 and CD= 15

According to the Segment Addition postulate we can write:

3x+1+15=10x-5 <em>Combining like terms</em>

3x +16 = 10x -5 <em>Subtract 16 from both sides</em>

3x = 10x-5-16 Subtract 10x from both sides

3x-10x =-21

-7x = -21

7x=21 <em>Dividing by 7 on both sides</em>

x=3

Solve x2 - 4x + 1 = 0.<br> x = 2+ 21-25<br> X = 4+<br> X = 2+ 3<br> x = -2+
adelina 88 [10]
I think the answer is this
2x-4x+1=0
Combine like terms
-2x+1=0
Subtract 1 both sides
-2x=-1
Divide by -2 both sides
x=-1/2

A quadratic function is defined by \small f\left(x\right)=x^2-8x-4. Which expression also defines \small f and best reveals the
ohaa [14]

Answer:

f(x) = [x – (4 + √20)][x – (4 – √20]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the function that best describes the given f(x) that best reveals it's minimum or maximum, we need to know solve for x.

x² – 8x – 4 = 0

Using completing the square method

x² – 8x = 4

x² – 8x + 4² = 4 + 4²

(x – 4)² = 20

x = 4 ±√20

Therefore

f(x) = [x – (4 + √20)][x – (4 – √20]
