Answer :
Factor
by grouping
We group first two terms and last two terms

Now we take out GCF from each group
GCF of
is x^2
GCF of
is 1


Now we factor out x+1 that is in common

6. Answer: y = 5x - 11
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Parallel means "same slope". y = 5x - 2 is in the form y = mx + b,
so the slope (m) = 5
Next, input the point (x₁, y₁ = 2, -1) and slope (m = 5) into the Point-Slope formula:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-1) = 5(x - 2)
y + 1 = 5x - 10
y = 5x - 11

7. Answer:
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Perpendicular means "opposite reciprocal slope". y = -3x + 7 is in the form y = mx + b, so slope (m) = -3 ⇒ m⊥ =
Next, input the point (x₁, y₁ = 3, 5) and slope (m =
) into the Point-Slope formula:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Answer:x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation One-half x + 3 = two-thirds x + 1 is expressed as
x/2 + 3 = 2x/3 + 1
The first step would be to to find the lowest common multiple of the left hand side of the equation and the right hand side of the equation and multiply the left hand side of the equation and the right hand side of the equation by the lowest common multiple. The lowest common multiple is 6. Therefore,
x/2 × 6 + 3 × 6 = 2x/3 × 6 + 1 × 6
3x + 18 = 4x + 6
4x + 6 = 3x + 18
Subtracting 3x and 6 from the left hand side of the equation and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
4x - 3x + 6 - 6 = 3x - 3x + 18 - 6
x = 12
If a quadrilateral is a rhombus then:
i) all its sides have equal length,
and
ii) the 2 diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.
The 2 diagonals of rhombus JKLM intersect at N.
Then m(MNJ)=90°, |JN|=4 and |NM|=3 units
thus, by the Pythagorean theorem,

The perimeter of the rhombus is 4*5 units=20 units.
Answer: 20 units
