Answer:

distribute parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = - \frac{11}{8}

Find the x-intercept of parabola with vertex (1,-17) and y-intercept (0,16)?
Ad libitum [116K]
Y=a(x-1)^2 -17 is the equation of the parabola.
at (0,16), 16=a(0-1)^2 -17.  Solve for a = 33.
Equation is then y=33(x-1)^2-17 so when y=0,
(x-1)^2 = 17/33
x-1 = + and - square root of 17/33
x = 1.7177 and 0,2823 as the intercepts

Given the formula A = 5h (B + b); solve for B.<br> 2
stellarik [79]

Answer:

B = A/5h - b; You could use

B = (A - 5hb)/5h  This just puts everything over a common denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 5h (B + b)          Divide both sides by 5h

A/5h = B + b             Subtract b from both sides.

A/5h - b = B

Y=2x-1<br> y=1/2x+4<br> find the solution to the system equations
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

x=10/3 y=17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution to solve your equation. Plug in y=2x-1 into y=1/2x+4. This makes (2x-1)=1/2x+4. Simplify this to get 3/2x-1=4. Simplify it again to get 3/2x=5. No one likes fractions so multiply both sides by 2 to get 3x=10. Simplify this and get x=10/3. Plus 10/3 into one of the equations. You can pick anyone but I picked y=2x-1. Because you know x=10/3, you put y=2(10/3)-1. Simplify this and get y=20/3-1. Convert 1 into a fraction and get y=20/3-3/3. Simplify this and get y=17/3.

Therefore,

x=10/3 y=17/3

Hoped this helps you
