Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

you would first distribute the -2 with x - 2, which should give you -2x + 4, and you want to do the -3 - 21, which would give you -24, then subtract 4 from -2x + 4, then you should have -2x = -28, then divide it by -2, which should give you x = 14

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we must isolate x

Given: -2(x - 2) = - 3 - 21
Simplify the right side: -2(x - 2)= - 24
Distribute the -2 to x and -2 (multiply): -2x + 4 = -24
Subtract 4 from both sides: -2x = -28
Divide both sides by -2: x = 14

the coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (2,4) (6,4) (6,0) and (2,0). The polygon is dilated with a scale factor of 3/2

svlad2 [7]

Take the first point (2, 4) a scale factor of 3/2 will move the x coordinate 2 to 2*3/2 = 3 and the y coordinate 4 will be moved to 4*3/2 = 6.
So the image of ( 2, 4) will be ( 3, 6) TH other verices will move in the same fashion.

Graph a direct variation function that goes through the point (-2, -6). what is the slope

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation function will always go through the origin point (0, 0).

Therefore, we have the two points (0, 0) and (-2, -6).

We can use the slope formula to find the slope:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute and evaluate:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{0-(-6)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Therefore, the slope of the function is 3.

To graph, simply plot (0, 0) and (-2, -6) and draw a line connecting them. This is shown below.
