Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you need to isolate the variable x, this means only one side of the equation should have the variable x. To do this, you need to do the opposite operation from what's given (if it's addition, use subraction; if it's multiplication, use division; these work vise versa)
- Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 10x = 4x - 18.
- Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 6x = -18.
- Divide both sides by 6. This gives you x = -3
The final answer is x = -3
Answer:
16.58 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + b² = c²
Think of this as a right triangle
The hypotenuse is 30, and one of the legs is 25
To find the other leg, subtract the square of the hypotenuse by the square of the given leg
30² - 25² = leg
900 - 625 = 275
Square root the answer to find the length of the missing leg
√275 = 16.583123951777
The leg is 16.58 ft.
Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:
Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t
Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0
Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles
So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.
Original position:
A-(-8,-4)
B-(-6,3)
C-(-3,7)
D-(-2,-2)
Translation:
A'-(-4,-4)
B'-(-2,3)

D'-(2,-2)
Vertex C will be in quadrant 1 (+,+) after being translated 4 unites to the right.
But what are they midpoints of? AFE, BFC, CEF,AFB?
