-24=2(x-4) What's X?

2 answers:

8 0

Your going to be using the distributive property for this question.
So after you have distributed the 2 to the X and the -4 , you are left with 2x-8=-24
Next, add the 8 to the -24
So your left with 2x=16
Lastly, divide 16/2

Your answer should be x=8
Hope this helped!

<span>-24=2(x-4)
Use distributive property
-24=2x-8
Add 8 to both sides
-16=2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: -8=x</span>

Determine the equation of the line that passes through the points of intersection of the graphs of the quadratic functions f(x)

timofeeve [1]

Answer: $x-2y-2=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$f(x) = x^2 - 4 \\ g(x) = - 3x^2 + 2x + 8$

Point of intersection :

$f(x)=g(x)\\x^2-4=-3x^2+2x+8\\4x^2-2x-12=0\\2x^2-x-6=0\\2x^2-4x+3x-6=0\\2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(2x+3)=0\\x=2\,,\,\frac{-3}{2}$

$x=2\,;f(2)=2^2-4=0\\x=\frac{-3}{2}\,; f\left ( \frac{3}{2} \right )=\left ( \frac{3}{2} \right )^2-4=\frac{-7}{4}=-1.75$

So, we have points $\left ( 2,0 \right )\,,\,\left ( -1.5,-1.75\ \right )$

Equation of line passing through two points $\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,,\,\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )$ is given by $y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\left ( x-x_1 \right )$
