Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
Switch sides:
2x−9=17
Add 9 to both sides:
2x−9+9=17+9
Simplify
2x=26
Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 =26/2
Simplify to get the result.
x=13
So, XZ= 7x+1 and PZ= 4x-1. To figure out XP we have to subtract those two.
(7x+1)-(4x-1)
3x-2
3(8)-2
24-2
22
XP=22
Think of this as (1/5)x - 4 = -75, where x is the number that we are trying to figure out. To figure this out, we want to get x by itself, so we can go:
(1/5)x=-71
x=-71*5
x=-355
So your number is -355
4x² - 12x = 7
- 7 - 7
4x² - 12x - 7 = 0
4x² + 2x - 14x - 7 = 0
2x(2x) + 2x(1) - 7(2x) - 7(1) = 0
2x(2x + 1) - 7(2x + 1) = 0
(2x - 7)(2x + 1) = 0
2x - 7 = 0 or 2x + 1 = 0
+ 7 + 7 - 1 - 1
2x = 7 2x = -1
2 2 2 2
x = 3¹/₂ or x = ⁻¹/₂
