The slope is 2/3 when simplified
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use the quadratic equation
x = 
Givens
x = 
x =( 5 +/- sqrt(25 - 12) ) / 2
x = (5 +/- sqrt(13) )/2
x = (5 + sqrt(13) / 2
x = 4.303 rounded
x = (5 - sqrt(13) ) /2
x = .6972
19. What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ. If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.
x-5+5x-12=25 First, combine your like terms. You will end up with 6x-17=25. Add the opposite of -17 to both sides. 6x = 42 Divide both sides by 6. x = 7. Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2
20. (5x-6)/2 = x+6 Multiply each side by 2. 5x-6 = 2x +12 Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well. 3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3. x=6 To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2. This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.
21. On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units. If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4. The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.
23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x. Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x. Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2. If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
= x - 5 ( x ≥ 3 )
( )² = ( x - 5 )²
x - 3 = x² - 10x + 25
x² - 11x + 28 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 7) = 0
= 7
= 4
Check the answer:
1). x = 7
= 7 - 2
√4 = 2
2 = 2
2). x = 4
= 4 - 5
1 = - 1 (False statement) ⇒ x = 4 is an extraneous solution.
