Answer:
7x-20=2x-3(3x+2)
We move all terms to the left:
7x-20-(2x-3(3x+2))=0
We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2x-3(3x+2)), so:
2x-3(3x+2)
We multiply parentheses
2x-9x-6
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-7x-6
Back to the equation:
-(-7x-6)
We get rid of parentheses
7x+7x+6-20=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
14x-14=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
14x=14
x=14/14
x=1

Answer:
The value of MB = 8.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the point of intersection of the Medians of a triangle is called the centroid of a triangle.
Thus,
For the given triangle ΔJKL,
- The point M is the centroid of the triangle.
We also know that the centroid is 2/3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Also, each Median is split into two parts such that the longer part is 2 times the length of the smaller part.
In our case,
The median KB is split into two parts such that the longer part KM is 2 times the length of the smaller part MB.
i.e.
KM = 2 MB
Given KM = 16.8
so substitute KM = 16.8 in the equation KM = 2 MB
16.8 = 2 MB
MB = 16.8/2
MB = 8.4
Therefore, the value of MB = 8.4
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(-3 x)/2 - 9 = -27
Put each term in (-3 x)/2 - 9 over the common denominator 2: (-3 x)/2 - 9 = (-18)/2 - (3 x)/2:
(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = -27
(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = (-3 x - 18)/2:
(-3 x - 18)/2 = -27
Multiply both sides of (-3 x - 18)/2 = -27 by 2:
(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = -27×2
(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = 2/2×(-3 x - 18) = -3 x - 18:
-3 x - 18 = -27×2
2 (-27) = -54:
-3 x - 18 = -54
Add 18 to both sides:
(18 - 18) - 3 x = 18 - 54
18 - 18 = 0:
-3 x = 18 - 54
18 - 54 = -36:
-3 x = -36
Divide both sides of -3 x = -36 by -3:
(-3 x)/(-3) = (-36)/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:
x = (-36)/(-3)
The gcd of -36 and -3 is -3, so (-36)/(-3) = (-3×12)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×12 = 12:
Answer: x = 12
