-2m = 16m - 9

First, take '16m' from both sides.
$-2m - 16m = -9$
Second, add '-2m - 16m' to get '-18m'.
$-18m = -9$
Third, divide both sides by '-18'.
$m = \frac{-9}{-18}$
Fourth, change the fraction into a negative.
$m = \frac{9}{18}$
Fifth, find the GCF of 9 and 18.
The GCF is 9.
Sixth, divide the numerator by the GCF.
$9$ ÷ $9 = 1$
Seventh, divide the denominator by the GCF.
$18$ ÷ $9 = 2$
Eighth, rewrite the fraction in simplest form.
$m = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer as fraction: $m = \frac{1}{2}$
Answer as decimal: $m = 0.5$

You add -2m to the other side and add 9 to the other side as well and then add 2m +16m= 18m and then divide 9 by 18

Taylor Swift wants to find the distance, AB, across a river. She starts at point B and walks along the edge of the river 94 ft a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A) Ms. Swift can conclude that hey are similar, because line E,C,A is collinear, and they both are right triangles.

B) 158.3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Having a collinear line makes the triangles similar, and because of their collinear line they are both right triangles.

B) The question tells you DE is 103 ft. You take 76ft and Square it giving you 5776ft You then take 103 and square it giving you 10609ft adding them together gives you 16385ft you take the square root of it and it gives you the hypotenuse of triangle CDE. To get the hypotenuse of triangle ABC you take The expression (AB/DE)=(BC/CD)=(AC/EC) step one (AB/DE)=(94ft/76ft)=AC/DE) step two (103ft/127ft)=(94ft/76ft)=(AC/DE) third step (103ft/127ft)=(94ft/76ft)=(128ft/158.3)

I truly hope this helps! :)

Give an example of a quadratic with complex roots. Explain how you know it has complex roots.

Vladimir [108]

2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.

The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23

-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign, If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.

Does 5 go into 100 equally

andreev551 [17]

Yes, 5 goes into 100 exactly 20 times because 5 multiplied by 20 is 100

I need to know the answer

antoniya [11.8K]

2 days late, but the answer is no solution. solving a system of equations means finding where they intersect, but by looking at these equations, you know that they never intersect--they're parallel.

they share a slope (2), making them either parallel or "the same line", but the different x-intercepts (9 and -9) mean that they're different lines. they have no solution, or no intersection point, because they're parallel lines.
