Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation looks like this:

2X -3 =12

So we are first going to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides of the equal sign:

2X -3 = 12

    + 3   +3

SO the equation looks like this now:

2x = 15

Now we are going to segregate the variable x by dividing 2x and 15 by 2:

2x/2 = 15/2

x = 7.5

So in order to check our work we are going to substitute 7.5 where the x variable is in the equation:

2X -3 =12 or 2(7.5) - 3 = 12

2(7.5) - 3 = 12

15 - 3 = 12

12 = 12

So our answer to what the variable x equals is 7.5.

I hope this helps you!!

35. Explain the difference between the reciprocal of x^2
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

As you can see, the difference between the reciprocal of x^2 and the inverse of   x^2 is that \frac{1}{x^2} =x^{-2} and \sqrt{x} =x^{\frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find both the reciprocal of x^2 and the inverse of

Recall that the reciprocal of a value is where you take a fraction and swap the places of the terms. In the case of x^2, 1 is the denominator, so

\frac{x^2}{1} =\frac{1}{x^2}

To find the inverse of a function, you first need swap the locations of x and y in the equation

y=x^2\\\\x=y^2

Now, you need to solve for y

y^2=x\\\\y=\sqrt{x}

Now, lets rewrite each of these to better compare them

\frac{1}{x^2} =x^{-2}\\\\\sqrt{x} =x^{\frac{1}{2}

As you can see, the difference between the reciprocal of x^2 and the inverse of

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord.

6

BE × ED = AE × CE , that is

10 × 3x = 12(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 12

30x = 24x + 12 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

then

ED = 3X = 3(2) = 6

7

RJ × JP = SJ × JQ , that is

6 × 3x = 4(4x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by 4

18x = 16x + 4 ( subtract 16x from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

then

RP = RJ + JP = 6 + 3x = 6 + 3(2) = 6 + 6 = 12
