Answer:

x= -1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-7 + 12 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Combine like terms: -7 + 12 = 5

5 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Solving

5 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13x' to each side of the equation.

5 + -2x + -13x = 23 + 13x + -13x

Combine like terms: -2x + -13x = -15x

5 + -15x = 23 + 13x + -13x

Combine like terms: 13x + -13x = 0

5 + -15x = 23 + 0

5 + -15x = 23

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -15x = 23 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -15x = 23 + -5

-15x = 23 + -5

Combine like terms: 23 + -5 = 18

-15x = 18

Divide each side by '-15'.

x = -1.2

The perimeter of a square is represented by the expression 32x - 12.8. Draw a square to represent this situation and label its s
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: The perimeter of a square is: 32x - 12.8

As we all know that, the formula to find the perimeter of a square is:

Sum of the 4 side = 4* length of the side  

=> the length of 1 side: The perimeter of a square  / 4

In this situation, we have length of 1 side side is:

(32x - 12.8) / 4

= 32/4x - 12.8/4

= 8x - 3.2

The 1st equivalent expressions for the perimeter: 4 *(8x - 3.2)

The 2nd equivalent expressions for the perimeter: (8x - 3.2) + (8x - 3.2)  + (8x - 3.2)  + (8x - 3.2)

The 3rd equivalent expressions for the perimeter: 2*(8x - 3.2) + 2*(8x - 3.2)

Help! Find the coordinates of P so that P partitions the segment AB in the ratio 6:2 if A(−4,12) and B(9,−4).
LekaFEV [45]

(5.75,0)

Let A be (x1,y1) , B be (x2,y2) , P be (x,y) and the ratio be m:n

Formula is,

x=(x2*m+x1*n)/(m+n)

y=(y2*m+y1*n)/(m+n)

Setler79 [48]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, The r-value associated with the ordered pairs for the linear function is very nearest to zero which does not results in adequate presentation of the outcome.

A quadratic model could properly comprise of a combination of data, as the set of data has a turning point.

This result in data rises and falls which represents the graph of quadratic's graph
