Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

2(x + 4) = x - 1

Solution

2x + 8 = x - 1                Subtract x from both sides

2x-x + 8 = - 1                Combine the left

x + 8 = - 1                     Subtract 8 from both sides

x + 8-8 = - 1-8

x = - 9

Check

<em>LHS</em>

2(-9 + 4)

2(- 5)

-10

<em>RHS</em>

-9 - 1

- 10

What is the distance between he points (5,14) and (18,3)
Gemiola [76]

the distance bewteen points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

given (5,14) and (18,3)

d=\sqrt{(18-5)^2+(3-14)^2}

d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(-11)^2}

d=\sqrt{169+121}

d=\sqrt{290}

the distance between those points is √290
