15x + 14 = 149Plz solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing these types of problems, the main goal is to get the variable by itself. Its kind of hard to explain with words so I will just use numbers.

15x + 14 = 149

(Subtract 14 on both sides. Remember, when you do something (Like subtracting, adding, etc.) on one side you have to do it to the other.)

15x + 14 = 149

       -14 =  -14

---------------------------

15x = 135

(Divide 15 on both sides. Since we need to use inverse operation to cancel the 15 out, we would divide 15 on both sides.)

15x/15 = 135/15

x = 9

Hope this helps :)

What is the area of the figure?<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figuring out the area of shapes like these are quite simple, you first have to break apart this shape to make solving this easier. If you draw a line and break off the triangle from the square you will get 2 different shapes. A square with all the sides being 2 inches, and a triangle that is 2 inches tall and 1.4 inches across (you subtract 3.4 by 2). Next you just use the equation (2 * 2) + ((1.4 * 2)/2). Multiply 2 by 2 (which is 4) and you get the area of the square (you multiply the base by the width). And for the triangle you multiple 1.4 by 2 (you get 2.8)... But because it's a triangle you have to divide that number by 2 since the triangle is half of a square. So 2.8 / 2 is going to be 1.4. After that you now have the equation 4 + 1.4 and the answer is going to be 5.4.

I have this point: (-1,2) and my slope is undefined. How would I write my equation in point-slope form: y - y^1 = m (x -x^1)? Th
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (-1, 2), and that the slope is <u><em>undefined</em></u>.

The standard linear equation of vertical lines is <em>x</em> =<em> a</em>, where the x-intercept is (<em>a</em>, 0), and the slope is undefined because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.  Attempting to solve for the slope of a vertical line using the slope formula, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁), will result in a mathematical operation of <u>division by zero</u> (which is an <em>undefined operation</em>).  

Since the slope is <u>undefined</u>, then it is <u>not possible</u> to create a linear equation in either the slope-intercept form, or point-slope form.

Therefore, the equation of a vertical line given the point, (-1, 2) is <em>x</em> = -1.

A rectangle has perimeter 28cm. Its area is 42sq.cm. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle. Include a diagram in your soluti
yawa3891 [41]

The dimensions of the rectangle are: b=9.65 cm and h=4.35 cm or b=4.35 cm and h= 9.65 cm.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle is equal to base x height (A=bh). The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2b+2h.

<h3>System of Linear Equations</h3>

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

Perimeter=28cm

Area= 42 cm²

If the perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, you have:

Perimeter= 2b+2h=28

If the area of the rectangle is 42cm², you have:

Area=bh=42 cm²

You can write a system of linear equations.

2b+2h=28 (1)

bh=42 (2)

From equation 2, you have  b=\frac{42}{h}. Then, you can replace it in equation 1.

2*\frac{42}{h}+2h=28 \\ \\ 84+2h^2=28h\\ \\ 2h^2-28h+84=0 \; dividing\; by\; 2\\ \\ h^2-14h+42=0

Now, you should solve the quadratic equation.

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-14\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:42}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_1=\frac{-\left(-14\right)+2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7+\sqrt{7}=9.65 cm

h_2=\frac{-\left(-14\right)-2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7-\sqrt{7}=4.35cm

If h1=9.65 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{9.65} =4.35 cm, and if  h2=4.35 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{4.35} =9.65 cm.
