Answer:

1. x=6

2. x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2:6

x:18

From 6 to 18, 6 was multiplied by 3. To keep the equality, we must multiply the other side by three as well. Therefore, x is equal to 2*3 which equals 6.

x=6.

5:7

(x+3):7

For this one, the second value did not change, so we know that x+3 has to equal 5. Therefore, x=2.

x=2

Solve each equation. check you solution.<br> (7t - 2) - (-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t)

Lynna [10]

(7t-2) - (-3t+1) = -3*(1-3t)
First distribute:
7t-2+3t-1 = -3+9t
Now get all the terms with 't' on the same side by subtracting/adding:
7t+3t-9t = -3+2+1
Combine the terms:
1t=0
t=0

Check:
Plug in 0 for t and see if both sides of the equation come out the same:
Does (7(0)-2) - (-3(0)+1) = -3(1-3(0)) ?
(-2) - (1) = -3(1) ?
-3 = -3 ?
Yes! It works, so t=0!

Answer:

72.14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(8,13), B(5,-18),C(-6,-6) and D(-2,-5)

Apply the distance formula as;

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
