Solve the equation 425x=850

mina [271]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must isolate x. To do this, divide both sides by 425 because that is what x is being multiplied by (and dividing is its opposite). Then, you get the answer, x=2.

You would set the equations equal to eachother and get x=-5/4 and then plug that in for x, i hope this helps!

If the point (a, b) is equidistant from the points (-a, 2) and (2, -b), then prove that 3(a+b)+4=0

erastova [34]

Answer: see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (a, b) is equidistant from (-a, 2) and (2, -b), then it is the midpoint of the those two points. Use Midpoint formula to find (a, b).

$M_x=\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}\qquad \qquad \qquad M_y=\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{-a+2}{2}\qquad \qquad \qquad \quad b=\dfrac{2-b}{2}\\\\\\2a=-a+2\qquad \qquad \qquad \quad 2b=2-b\\\\\\3a=2\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 3b=2\\\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad b=\dfrac{2}{3}$

3(a + b) - 4 = 0

$3\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)-4=0\\\\\\3\bigg(\dfrac{4}{3}\bigg)-4=0\\\\\\4-4=0\\\\0=0\qquad \text{TRUE!}$

Notice that I changed the equation to "negative 4" because the equation you provided did not make a true statement.
