5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
Solution to Problem 1:
Given the equation
5 (- 3 x - 2) - (x - 3) = - 4 (4 x + 5) + 13
Multiply factors.
-15 x - 10 - x + 3 = - 16 x - 20 + 13
Group like terms.
- 16 x - 7 = - 16 x - 7
Add 16x + 7 to both sides and write the equation as follows
0=0
|x - 2| - 4|-6|
Problem 4: Find the distance between the points (-4 , -5) and (-1 , -1).
Solution to Problem 4:The distance d between points (-4 , -5) and (-1 , -1) is
given by
d = √[ (-1 - (-4)) 2 + (-1 - (-5)) 2 ]
Simplify.
d = √(9 + 16) = 5
Problem 5:
f(x) = 6x + 1
Problem 7: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, -1) and
(2 , 2).
Solution to Problem 7:Given the points (-1, -1) and (2 , 2), the slope m is
given by
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (2 - (-1)) / (2 - (-1)) = 1
5x - 5y = 7
Solution to Problem 8:Given the line
5x - 5y = 7
Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the value
of m the slope.
- 5y = - 5x + 7
y = x - 7/5
The slope is given by the coefficient of x which is 1.
Problem 9: Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1 , -
1) and (-1 , 2).
Solution to Problem 9:To find the equation of the line through the points (-1 ,
-1) and (-1 , 2), we first use the slope m.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (2 - (-1)) / (-1 - (-1)) = 3 / 0
The slope is undefined which means the line is perpendicular to the x axis and
its equation has the form x = constant. Since both points have equal x
coordinates -1, the equation is given by:
x = -1
|- 2 x + 2| - 3 = -3
Solution to Problem 10:The equation to solve is given by.
|-2 x + 2| -3 = -3
Add 3 to both sides of the equation and simplify.
|-2 x + 2| = 0
|-2 x + 2| is equal to 0 if -2 x + 2 = 0. Solve for x to obtain
x=1
