Answer:

x=9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute 2

2x-4-5=3-2x+6

Add the like terms on the left side -4-5=-9

2x-9=3-2x+6

Do this with the right side 3+6=9

2x-9=-2x+9

Add 9 from the left side to the right side

2x=-2x+18

Then add 2x from the right side to the left side

4x=18

Divide 4 from both sides

x=18/4 or 9/2

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4-5= 3-2x+6  distribute 2 through the parentheses

2x-4-5=9-2x     add the numbers

2x-9=9-2x calculate the difference

2x+2x-9= 9  move variable to left side and change sign

2x+2x= 9+9 move constant to right side and change sign

4x= 18  collect like terms

x=9/2 divide both sides by 4

John bought 3 pencils for $0.75 each and a notebook for $4.25. If the tax rate is 5%, what is the total amount of John's purchas
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$6.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the before-tax total amount:

$0.75 + $0.75 + $0.75 + $4.25, or

3($0.75) + $4.25 = $2.25 + $4.25 = $6.50    (total before tax)

The before-tax total PLUS the 5% tax comes to:

$6.50 + 0.05($6.50) = $6.50 + $0.33  =  $6.83

If the distance from A (5,6) to B (1, b) is twice the distance from B to
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The possible values of b are -2.944 and -9.055, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we know that AB = 2\cdot BC. By Analytical Geometry, we use the equation of a line segment, which is an application of the Pythagorean Theorem:

AB = 2\cdot BC

\sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}} = 2\cdot \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+(y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}} (1)

Where:

x_{A}, x_{B}, x_{C} - x-Coordinates of points A, B and C.

y_{A}, y_{B}, y_{C} - y-Coordinates of points A, B and C.

(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2} = 4\cdot (x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+4\cdot (y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}

Then, we expand and simplify the expression above:

x_{B}^{2}-2\cdot x_{A}\cdot x_{B} +x_{A}^{2} +y_{B}^{2}-2\cdot y_{A}\cdot y_{B} + y_{A}^{2} = 4\cdot (x_{C}^{2}-2\cdot x_{C}\cdot x_{B}+x_{B}^{2})+4\cdot (y_{C}^{2}-2\cdot y_{C}\cdot y_{B}+y_{B}^{2})

x_{B}^{2}-2\cdot x_{A}\cdot x_{B} + x_{A}^{2} +y_{B}^{2}-2\cdot y_{A}\cdot y_{B} + y_{A}^{2} = 4\cdot x_{A}^{2}-8\cdot x_{C}\cdot x_{B}+4\cdot x_{B}^{2}+4\cdot y_{C}^{2}-8\cdot y_{C}\cdot y_{B}+4\cdot y_{B}^{2}

If we know that x_{A} = 5, y_{A} = 6, x_{B} = 1, y_{B} = b, x_{C} = 1 and y_{C} = -3, then we have the following expression:

1 -10 +25 +b^{2} -12\cdot b+36  = 100 -8 +4 +36+24\cdot b +4\cdot b^{2}

b^{2}-12\cdot b +52 = 4\cdot b^{2}+24\cdot b +132

3\cdot b^{2}+36\cdot b +80 = 0

This is a second order polynomial, which means the existence of two possible real solutions. By Quadratic Formula, we have the following y-coordinates for point B:

b_{1} \approx -2.944, b_{2} \approx -9.055

In consequence, the possible values of b are -2.944 and -9.055, respectively.
