Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute

3 (−4) = 2 (−2+1)

3 − 12 = 2 (-2x +1)

Distrubute again

3x - 12 = -4x + 2

Add twelve to both sides of the equation

Simpfly

3x = -4x + 14

Add 4x to both sides of the equation

simpfly

7x = 14

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

Simpfly

x = 2

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determining the length of BC

From the diagram, it is clear that

The point B is located at (-8, 10) and point C is located at (8, 10)

Since points A and C are located on a horizontal straight line. Thus, the length of BC can be determined by counting the x-axis units from reaching x = -8 to x = 8. i.e. 8-(-8) = 8+8 = 16

Thus, the length of BC = 16 units

Determining the length of CD

Given

C (8, 10)

D (2, -2)

The distance between C(8, 10) and D(2, -2)

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$CD=\sqrt{\left(2-8\right)^2+\left(-2-10\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6^2+12^2}$

$=\sqrt{36+144}$

$=\sqrt{180}$

$=\sqrt{36\times 5}$

$=6\sqrt{5}$

Thus, the length of CD $=6\sqrt{5}$ units

Determining the length of ED

Given

E (-8, -4)

D (2, -2)

The distance between E(-8, -4) and D(2, -2)

$ED=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-8\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{10^2+2^2}$

$=\sqrt{100+4}$

$=\sqrt{104}$

$=\sqrt{26\times \:4}$

$=2\sqrt{26}$

Thus, the length of ED $=2\sqrt{26}$ units

Determining the length of EB

From the diagram, it is clear that

The point E is located at (-8, -4) and the point B is located at (-8, 10)

Since points E and B are located on a vertical straight line. Thus, the length of EB can be determined by counting the y-axis units from reaching y = -4 to y = 10. i.e. 10-(-4) = 10+4 = 14

Thus, the length of EB = 14 units

What is the answer to 7 7 (–1) a. 13b. 16c. 7d. 10?

meriva

When a () is right next to a number such as the problem you have it means to multiply. so 77 times -1 equals -77. so i'm not sure why -77 isn't one of your answer choices. maybe you mistyped something?
