A student says that if 5x2 = 20, then x must be

Mathematics
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:

5(-2)(2) = ?

-10 x 2 = ?

? = -20

-20 ≠ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Justificaiton:

5(x)(2) = 20

10(x) = 20

10/10(x) = 20/10

x = 2

Second Justification:

5(x)(2) = 20

5/5(x)(2) = 20/5

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

NEED HELP PLEASE!
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex numbers identity:

The complex numbers identity is:

i^2 = -1

Square of the sum:

(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2

In this question:

(x + (3+5i))^2

x^2 + 2x(3+5i) + (3+5i)^2

x^2 + 6x + 10xi + 9 + 30i + 25i^2

x^2 + 6x + 9 + (10x+30)i - 25

x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

So

(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16

The coordinates of point F are (15/4 , -5/2)

  • The coordinates of point G  = (-3/4 , -3)

<h3>What is the coordinates  about?</h3>

From the image attached:

AB divided into 4 similar parts, hence

  • E is the mid-point of AB
  • D is the mid-point of AE
  • F is the mid-point of EB

Note that the rule of the mid-point states that:

When M (x , y) is the mid-point of the segment of AB, where A (x1 , y1)  and B (x2 , y2), Then  x = (x1 + x2)/2 and that of  y = (y1 + y2)/2

Then lets solve for points E, F, D

Since A (-3 , -1) and B (6 , -3),

E is the mid-point of AB

Then  E =[(-3 + 6)/2, (-1 + -3)/2]

         = (3/2 , -2)

Since  F is the mid-point of EB,

         E (3/2 , -2) , B (6 , -3)

Then F = [(3/2 + 6)/2 , (-2 + -3)/2]

       = (15/4 , -5/2)

Since D is the mid-point of AE, A (-3 , -1), E (3/2 , -2)

Then  D = [(-3 + 3/2)/2 , (-1 + -2)/2]

           = (-3/4 , -3/2)

Note also that:

 BC is said to be an  horizontal segment due to the fact that B and C have similar y - coordinate and G can be found on BC.

Since the y-coordinate of G is similar to y-coordinate of B and C

Then  y-coordinate of G is =  -3

Since DG ⊥ BC

Then DG =  vertical segment

So  G has similar x-coordinate of D

Then  The x-coordinate of G = -3/4

The  G = (-3/4 , -3)

Find the distance around (perimeter) the figure on the left.<br> The perimeter is ___ in.
Phoenix [80]
4 7/8 = 4 14/16 = 78/16
2 7/16 = 39/16
39/16 + 39/16 + 39/16 + 39/16 = 156/16
78/16 + 78/16 = 156/16
156/16 + 156/16 = 312/16 = 19 8/16 = 19 1/2

Answer: 19 1/2 inches

If QR= 3x-2, RS= 2x+1, QS=6x-3, and R is between Q and S, then RS=​
rewona [7]

Answer:

RS = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since R is between Q and S , then

QS = QR + RS , that is

6x - 3 = 3x - 2 + 2x + 1

6x - 3 = 5x - 1 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x - 3 = - 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 2

Then

RS = 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
