Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(2x-3)=-3(4x-11)
<em>
</em>Multiply to open the brackets,

-10x+15=-12x+33
<em>
</em>Keep constants and variables on same sides,
<em>
</em>-10x+12x=33-15
2x=18

Divide by 2 on both sides,

2x/x=18/2
x=9

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(2x−3)=−3(4x−11)

(−5)(2x) + (−5)(−3) = (−3)(4x) + (−3)(−11) (Distribute)

−10x + 15 = −12x + 33

Step 2: Add 12x to both sides.

−10x + 15 + 12x = −12x + 33 + 12x

2x+15=33

Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides.

2x + 15 − 15 = 33 − 15

2x = 18

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 18/2

x=9

Lydia graphed ADEF at the coordinates D (-2,-1), E (-2, 2), and F (0,0). She thinks ADEF is a right triangle. Is Lydia's asserti

Setler79 [48]

The true statement is (c) No; the slopes of segment EF and segment DF are not opposite reciprocals.

<h3>Right triangles </h3>

Right triangles have a pair of perpendicular lines

Coordinates

The coordinates are given as:

D = (-2,-1)
E = (-2,2)
F = (0,0)

<h3>Slopes</h3>

Start by calculating the slopes of lines DF and EF using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

So, we have:

$m_{DF} = \frac{0 + 1}{0 +2}$

$m_{DF} = \frac{1}{2}$

Also, we have:

$m_{EF} = \frac{0 -2 }{0+2}$

$m_{EF} = \frac{-2 }{2}$

$m_{EF} = -1$

For the triangle to be a right triangle, then the calculated slopes must be opposite reciprocals.

i.e.

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

By comparison, the slopes of both lines are not opposite reciprocals.

Hence, the true statement is (c)

I NEED ASAP:<br> What is the value of x?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-20+6x+8=180 set the equations together and to equal 180 since a line is 180 degrees

Get the variables together

10x-20+6x+8=180

-6x -6x

4x-20+8=180

add together -20 and 8

4x-12=180

add -12 on each side

4x-12=180

+12 +12

4x=192

divide all by 4

x=48
