If point Y is between points X and Z, then
XY + YZ = XZ
In words, the distance from X to Y, plus the distance from Y to Z, is equal to the distance from X to Z. (See the attached picture.)
So 6b + 8b = 175

Answer:
14.42
Step-by-step explanation:
17.00 x .80 20% off means price is 80% (or .80) of price
=13.6
13.6 x .06 = .82 sales tax
13.60 + .82 = 14.42 sales price plus sales tax
(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.
Hope this helps!
X = 16
x = - 16
You could do it this way
x^2 - 256 = 0
(x - 16)(x + 16) = 0
x - 16 = 0
x = 16
x + 16 = 0
x = - 16
