Insert 1 into your equation (1+2)2=a 1+2=3 and 3X2=6 so therefore a=6

<span>(x + 2)</span>·<span>2 = a

(1 + 2)</span>·2 = a

3·2 = a

a = 6

A good practice in mathematics is to always check your work. Explain why it is very important to do so when you are solving equa

If you don't double check your answers by substituting them back into the original equation, you may be introducing extraneous solutions into the problem which is why you should always check to confirm your answer is accurate. I hope this helps! :)

HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.

ss7ja [257]

You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26

Nikki drew a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units on a coordinate grid. Two of the vertices were (4, –3) and (–1, –3). What co

Talja [164]

Answer:

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of a rectangle ( $p$ ) is:

$p = 2\cdot b + 2\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$b$ - Base of the rectangle.

$h$ - Height of the rectangle.

Let suppose that the base of the rectangle is the line segment between (4, -3) and (-1, -3). The length of the base is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem:

$b = \sqrt{[(-1)-4]^{2}+[(-3)-(-3)]^{2}}$
