X/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
x(x+1) = (x -2) (x + 5)
x^2 + x = x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10
x = 3x - 10
3x - x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5
answer is A
5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 3x + 2
Comparing with y = mx + c
slope (m) = 3
y-intercept (c) = 2
Answer:
The area of the shape is 89m²
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to subtract the area of the empty triangle from the area of the rectangle.
The rectangle's area is 13m × 8m = 104m²
The triangle's area is (6m × (13 - 8)m) / 2 = (6 × 5) / 2 m² = 15m²
Subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle:
104m² - 15m²
= 89m²
The slope is 0!! any horizontal line, like y = 1, y = 2, y = any other number, has a slope of 0. because it's a horizontal line, it's flat, so there isn't any incline or decline. just as a note: vertical lines (x = 1, etc.) have an undefined slope.
