What is the value of x?

1 answer:

6 0

1) expand the brackets
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
simplify
-18 - 8x = 14
then add 18 to both sides to get the x's on there own
-8x = 32
then divide by -8
x = 32/-8
x = -4

2) multiply everything by 7x
2 + (6 x 7x) + ( 17x × 7x) = 18 x 7x
2 + 42x + 119x^2 = 126x
put everything on one side
119x^2 - 84x + 2 = 0
then use quadratic equation to solve

x = 0.024671849 or 0.6812105039

A triangle has vertices A(0, 0), B, (–2, 8), and C(1, 7). What are the coordinates of the triangle after a dilation with a scale

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Basically multiply the x and y coordinates of each point by 1/2

For example, I'll do C which is ( -2 , 10 )

-2 * 1/2 = -1 and 1/2 * 10 = 5

The new coordinate is ( -1 , 5 )

Now you can try the other points

Write a matrix equation for the given systems of equations.

REY [17]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-6&2\\0&3&-2\\0&2&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\-5\\-3\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

2x-6y-2z = 1

3y - 2z = -5

2y + 2z = -3

given

2 x - 6 y - 2 z = 1

0 x + 3 y - 2z = -5

0 x +2y + 2 z = - 3

The Matrix form of the given system of equations

A X = B

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-6&2\\0&3&-2\\0&2&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\-5\\-3\end{array}\right]$
