Answer:
x=-5 or -5
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4 = 2x + 1
Subtract x from both sides canceling out the x on the left, getting...
-4 = x + 1
Then subtract the 1 from both sides canceling out the 1 on the right, getting...
-5 = x
Subtracting x from 2x gets you 1x which you just write as x because there is only one x. Doing the equation from the other side will still get you the same answer and I will show you.
x - 4 = 2x + 1
-x - 4 = 1
-x = 5
x = -5
Hope this helps!
I'll tell you the answer but should I graph it, solve for x, solve for y, or what should I solve for?
To get the coordinates of C we shall proceed as follows:
AB:BC=1:4
B-A=[(-3--7),(-5--8)]=(4,3)
4(4,3)=(16,12)
thus the coordinates of C will be:
(16-3,-5+12)
=(13,7)
