Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: <em>x</em> = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If line <em>m</em> is parallel to line <em>n</em>, the two angles given will be congruent because they will be alternate exterior angles (which are congruent).
This means we will set them equal to each other and solve for <em>x</em>.
Given:
(4<em>x</em> - 23) = (2<em>x</em> + 17)
Add 23 to both sides of the equation:
4<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 40
Subtract 2<em>x</em> from both sides of the equation:
2<em>x</em> = 40
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
<em>x</em> = 20
Vertex coordinates: (h, k)
Vertex form: y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 2(x+3) + 2(x+4)
Use distributive property:
y = 2((x+3)+(x+4))
Simplify:
y = 2(2x+7)
y = 4x+14
This is slope - intercept form, not vertex form. Vertex form is for quadratic equations - this is a linear equation.
Answer (in slope - intercept form):
y = 4x+14
57 + x + x + 130 = 167
57 + 2x + 130 = 167
187 + 2x = 167
- 187 - 187
