Answer:

x = 9/4 = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do when solving this equation would be to expand the brackets.

Because the sign in front of the brackets it a negative/minus, it means that we have to reverse the signs of both numbers inside (i.e. positive numbers become negative and vice versa):

2x-(+4-x)=5-x\\2x-4+x=5-x

Next, we can move all the x-terms to one side and the constants to the other so we can solve for a numerical constant value of x.

To do this we will first combine like terms (x's and x's etc.), and then subtract or add that value from both sides. This allows us to move terms to the other side without changing the equation (both sides are still equal):

2x+x-4=5-x\\3x-4=5-x\\3x-4+4=5-x+4\\3x=5+4-x\\3x+x=9-x+x\\4x=9\\4x/4=9/4\\x=\frac{9}{4} =2.25

We can also test this answer by substituting it back into the original equation for 'x':

2(2.25)-(4-2.25)=5-2.25\\4.5-1.75=2.75\\2.75=2.75

In which case the equation checks out, meaning we got the correct answer.

Hope this helped!

The parallelogram shown below has an area of ​​135 units2 Find the missing base.
Nostrana [21]
<h3>Answer:  9</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.

<span>so

</span><span>I'm going to analyze the two cases
</span><span>
using a graph tool

case 1)
</span>f(x)=(x-4)^2-1<span>
the vertex is the point (4,-1)
the x intercepts are the points (3,0) and (5,0)
the y intercept is the point (0,15)
</span><span>the axis of symmetry is x=4
</span>see the attached figure N 1 

case 2)
f(x)=-(x-4)^2-1
the vertex is the point (4,-1)
there is no x intercepts
the y intercept is the point (0,-17)
the axis of symmetry is x=4
see the attached figure N 2






the answer 
<span>considering the case N 2 </span>is
