Answer:

The value of x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The point (x,-4)
  • The point (2,8)

To determine

  • m = -3

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

here:

  • (x₁, y₁) = (x, -4)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (2, 8)
  • m = -3

so substitute (x₁, y₁) = (x, -4) , (x₂, y₂) = (2, 8)  and m = -3

m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

-3 =  [8 - (-4)] / [2 - x]

-3 = [12] / [2-x]  

-3 (2-x) = 12

-6+3x = 12

3x = 12+6

3x = 18

divide  both sides by 3

3x/3 = 18/3

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x = 6

I know that x=0 but I don't know how I really got that.
galina1969 [7]
Sqrt(x+4-3)=1 
sqrt (x+1) = 1 
x+1 = 1^2 
x=1-1
x=0 

This is how you would get x=0 

Hope I helped :)

I did the first one I need help on this that’s all

Answer:

m<A = 70 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg. Add the three measures and set equal to 180. Solve for x. then use the value of x and the expression for m<A to find the measure of angle A.

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

5x - 25 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 5 = 180

10x - 10 = 180

10x = 190

x = 19

m<A = 5x - 25 = 5(19) - 25 = 95 - 25 = 70

Answer: m<A = 70 deg

Convert 0.0000.489 to scientific notation
Volgvan
I do not understand why there are two decimal places.
But either ways if you are asking for :
0.0000489 then it is 4.89*10⁻⁵
0.489 then it is 4.89*10⁻¹
The trick is to count the zeroes to the first actual significant number you see and then write the number you counted with a negative sign for your power. 
I hope this helps!
