Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+1)=x+5

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.

2x+2=x+5

Subtract x from both sides.

2x+2−x=5

Combine 2x and −x to get x.

x+2=5

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x=5−2

Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.

x=3

Find the equation of the line of symmetry of y= (x+2)(x-8).

Daniel [21]

Answer:

line of symmetry , x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of quadratic equation is y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c equal all real numbers. You can use the formula x = -b / 2a to find the line of symmetry.

$y = (x+ 2)(x-8)\\\\y = (x^2 -8x + 2x -16)\\\\y = x^2 -6x -16$

a = 1, b = -6, c = -16

Line of symmetry is ,

$x = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{-6}{2} = 3$

Find the value of x.

Brrunno [24]

Answer: x=133

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hexagon that has a total of 720 degrees (which you can get by the formula of degrees = (# of sides – 2) * 180).

You first add up all your side:

150+130+97+120+90 +x = 587 + x

587+x = 720

x=133

Kite GHIJ has sides GH, HI, IJ and JG. What are the diagonals of this figure? Select all that apply.

juin [17]

Answer:

GI or HJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals connect non-adjacent vertices.

That is, the diagonal with G as an endpoint will not connect to vertices H or J, but will connect to vertex I. Likewise the diagonal with H as one end will have J as the other end. A quadrilateral has only two (2) diagonals. Of course, each can be named two ways:

GI or IG

HJ or JH
