Use The Figure Below to Solve For x.

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The information we are given:

We are told that the distance from point a to c is x + 10

We are told that the distance from a to b is 5

we are also told that the distance from b to c is 2x+6

Because from point A to B and B to C is inside the total of A to C we can add the two together and create a equation to solve for x

so the sum of the two parts 5 + 2x + 6

*combine like terms*

11 + 2x

is equal to the total distance (x+10)

now we solve for x

11 + 2x = x + 10

step 1 subtract x from each side by

2x - x =  x

x -x cancels out

now we have 11 + x = 10

step 2 subtract 11 from each side

11-11 cancels out

10 - 11 = -1

we're left with x = -1

Now lets plug in x and see if A to C is equal to A to B + B to C

(-1) + 10 = 5 + 2(-1) + 6

10 - 1= 9

2*-1=-2

6-2=4

4+5=9

9=9

which is true so we can conclude that x = -1

0 is its x and y coordinate

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
