Answer: C. (-3, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2|x-3|=12

Divide both sides by 2

2|x-3|/2=12/2

|x-3|=6

Take of absolute value sign (REMEMBER need to take into consideration of two conditions)

x-3=±6

1)x-3=6

x=9

2)x-3=-6

x=-3

**NOTE**: need to check each solution whether or not they are suitable

Hope this helps!! :)

Point D is on line segment \overline{CE}

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

DE = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point D is on line segment CE.

DE = x+10, CD=6 and CE=3x

We need to find the length of DE.

ATQ,

CE = CD + DE

Putting all the values,

3x = 6 + x+10

Taking like terms together

3x-x = 16

2x = 16

x = 8

DE = x+10

= 8+10

= 18

Hence, the length of DE is 18.

Bo bought a few items for $93.84, not including tax. If the tax rate was 7%, what was the total cost of these items, including t

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Total cost is $100.41 ( $93.84 + $6.57)

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking Point: The total cost is the cost of the items PLUS the tax. 93.84 ∙ 0.07 = 6.5688 (round to “cents”) = $6.57

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.
