Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
note that BC is perpendicular to AB, hence the slope of BC is the negative reciprocal of the slope of AB
= -
= - 
Answer:
x = -4 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing is to multiply 3 by x and get 3x,then 3 by 4 equals 12. 3x+12....6x=3x+12...subtract 3x from 6x and get 3x=12..then divide 3 on both sides and 3x crosses out.. and x=4...this is what I have to say about this..
Answer:
210
Step-by-step explanation:
x = num of adults
x + 7.5x = 238
8.5x = 238
x = 28
#students = 238-x
= 210
9514 1404 393
Answer:
13 in by 51 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...
663 = x(4x -1)
4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form
Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.
x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))
x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8
Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...
x = 104/8 = 13
4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51
The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.
