Solve for x 1-6x=-17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zarrin [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rearrange terms

1 - 6x = -17

-6x + 1 = -17

2. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation (we want to get rid of 1)

3. Simplify

In the end, you should get x=3.

Help please =]<br><br> Solve system of equations using any method 2x-6y=8 and 2x-6y=3
dusya [7]
Let z be any number (like x would be)

if we set z equal to 2x-6y, then we get z = 2x-6y

The system 

2x-6y = 8
2x-6 = 3

turns into this new system

z = 8
z = 3

but z is a single number. It can't be both 8 and 3 at the same time. So there are no solutions

The points M(-7,2), N(-3,4), O(-5,8)M(−7,2),N(−3,4),O(−5,8), and P(-9,6)P(−9,6) form a quadrilateral. Find the desired slopes an
pochemuha

The slope of line PO and MN is 0.5. And the slope of the line ON and MP is negative 2. Then each length of the quadrilateral is 4.47 units.

<h3>What is a quadrilateral?</h3>

It is a quadrilateral with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees.

The points M(−7,2), N(−3,4), O(−5,8), and P(−9,6) form a quadrilateral.

Then the slope of each line of the quadrilateral will be

The slope of the line PO will be

PO = (8-6)/(-5+9)

PO = 2/4

PO = 0.5

The slope of the line ON will be

ON = (8-4)/(-5+3)

ON = 4/(-2)

ON = -2

The slope of the line MN will be

MN = (4-2)/(-3+7)

MN = 2/4

MN = 0.5

The slope of the line MP will be

MP = (6-2)/(-9+7)

MP = 4/(-2)

MP  = -2

Then each length of the quadrilateral will be

The length of PO will be

PO = √[(-9+5)² + (6-8)²]

PO = 4.47

The length of ON will be

ON = √[(-5+3)² + (8-4)²]

ON = 4.47

The length of MN will be

MN = √[(-3+7)² + (4-2)²]

MN = 4.47

The length of MP will be

MP = √[(-9+7)² + (6-2)²]

MP = 4.47

Part 2 Directions: Solve the matrix equation for "X" and "y" 5 - 2x 6 1 -8 + 2 -8 4. - 13 -13​
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The value of x=9 and value of y= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the matrix equation for x and y

We are given:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2x&6\\1&-8\\\end{array}\right] +2\left[\begin{array}{cc}5&-1\\y&6\\\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8&4\\-13&-13\\\end{array}\right]

First multiply 2 with terms inside the matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2x&6\\1&-8\\\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}10&-2\\2y&12\\\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8&4\\-13&-13\\\end{array}\right]

Now adding matrices on left side

\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2x+10&6-2\\1+2y&-8+12\\\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8&4\\-13&-13\\\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2x+10&4\\1+2y&4\\\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8&4\\-13&-13\\\end{array}\right]

Now both sides are equal , so we can say that

-2x+10=-8 \ and \ 1+2y=-13

Solving equations and finding values of x and y

Finding value of x

-2x+10=-8 \\-2x=-8-10\\-2x=-18\\x=\frac{-18}{-2}\\x=9

Finding value of y

1+2y=-13\\2y=-13-1\\2y=-14\\y=\frac{-14}{2}\\y=-7

So, value of x=9 and value of y= -7

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are given below. Classify the triangle as acute, obtuse, or right.
enot [183]

Answer:

  • B. Obtuse Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use Pythagorean to identify if the triangle is right:</u>

  • 9² = 7² + 3²
  • 81 = 58

We see the triangle is <u>not </u>right and the difference of the squares tells us the angle opposite to side with measure of 9 is greater than 90°.

It means the triangle is <u>obtuse</u>.

Correct choice is B
