I'm guessing it is 18. 18 decreased by nine equals nine so to me it makes sense.
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation is given by
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
-35 = k*7
-35/7 = k
-5 = k
y = -5x
We know y = -85
-85 = -5x
Divide each side by -5
-85/-5 = x
17 =x
Answer:
<h2>x = 21</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 + 5x = 7 + 15 + 7x <em>combine like terms</em>
(3x + 5x) + 1 = (7 + 15) + 7x
8x + 1 = 22 + 7x <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
8x = 21 + 7x <em>subtract 7x from both sides</em>
x = 21
A is area
B is base
H is height

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
2.1 Factoring: 9x
-1
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A
- B
can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A
- AB + BA - B2 =
A
- AB + AB - B2 =
A
- B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 9 is the square of 3
Check : 1 is the square of 1
Check : x
is the square of x1
Factorization is : (3x + 1) • (3x - 1)
Final result :
(3x + 1) • (3x - 1)
