Solve for X. Geometry

Mathematics
1 answer:
slava [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  " x = 10 " .

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Note the top "line segment" ; and the bottom "line"; have equal measurements:

The length of the top line segment is:

" (2x − 8) + 5 ."

The length of the bottom line is:  " (x + 7) " ;

__________

To solve for "x" ;

___________

(2x − 8) + 5 = (x + 7) ;

Rewrite as:

2x − 8 + 5 = x + 7 ;

Note: −8 + 5 = -3 ;

_______________

Rewrite the equation as:

 2x − 3 = x + 7 ;

We can subtract "x" from each side of the equation;

and add "3" to each side of the equation:

 2x − 3 − x + 3 = x + 7 − x + 3 ;

_______________

to get:

_______________

 x = 10 .

_______________

Let us check our answer

(2x − 8) + 5 =? (x + 7) ;

________

(2*10 − 8)  + 5 =? (10 + 7) ? ;

(20 − 8)  + 5 =? 17 ?

  12 + 5 =? 17 ?  Yes!

_______________

Best wishes in your academic pursuits!

Another One I need help withhhh sorrry
Effectus [21]

Answer:

y = 2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry I'm probably too late since Quizziz doesn't wait unless you have the freeze timer thing.

y = mx+b

b is the y intercept. The y intercept (when x=0) is given in the table.

Now plug a coordinate in to solve for m.

My coordinates: (1,5)

5 = m + 3

Solve.

2 = m

m = 2

Note: never plug in the y intercept when looking for m.

You can also find the slope by (subtracting the y value of one coordinate from another y value of another coordinate)/(subtracting x value from the first y coordinate above from the x value from the second coordinate).

In this case, it'd be

m = (7-5)/(2-1)

m = 2/1

m = 2

How to find third coordinate when given midpoint and a point?
IgorLugansk [536]
Example : 
u have an endpoint at (6,5)......ad the midpoint is (4,2)....find the other endpoint.

midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
one endpoint (6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
other endpoint (x,y)...x2 = x and y2 = y
sub into the formula
m = (6 + x) / 2, (5 + y) / 2

okay, so the midpoint is (4,2)....so ur x value will equal 4
(6 + x) / 2 = 4...multiply both sides by 2
6 + x = 4 * 2
6 + x = 8
x = 8 - 6
x = 2 <==

midpoint is (4,2)....so the y value will equal 2
(5 + y) / 2 = 2 ...multiply both sides by 2
5 + y = 2 * 2
5 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5
y = -1 <==

so ur other endpoints are (2,-1)
