Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply out the brackets

48x - 80 - 40x + 80 = 40 → negative + negative = positive [-10 x -8]

Step 2: Simplify

8x = 40 → collect like terms

Step 3: Solve

x = (40/8)

x = 5

Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 5 X 2
Area of a rectangle = 10

Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 2 X 2
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 4
Area of triangle 1= 2

Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 7 X 4
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 28
Area of triangle 2= 14

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (6, –3) and (–4, –9)?

Delvig [45]

(6,-3)(-4,-9)
slope(m) = (-9 -(- 3) / (-4 - 6) = (-9 + 3) / -10 = -6/-10 = 3/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/5
(6,-3)....x1 = 6 and y1 = -3
now we sub
y - (-3) = 3/5(x - 6) =
y + 3 = 3/5(x - 6) <==
