Find the equation of a line passing through (-4,-3) and perpendicular to 3 x + 2 y = 14.

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

3x+2y=14\implies 2y=-3x+14\implies y=\cfrac{-3x+14}{2}\implies y = \cfrac{-3x}{2}+\cfrac{14}{2} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}x+7\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so therefore

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-3}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{-3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{-3}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3 and passes through (-4 , -3)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \implies y+3=\cfrac{2}{3}(x+4) \\\\\\ y+3=\cfrac{2}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}-3\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}

A detachment of n soldiers must cross a wide and deep river with no bridge in sight. They notice two 12- year-old boys playing i
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Steps 1 - 4 below explains it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way that the soldiers get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat is;

1) The two 12- year - old boys will take the boat to the other side

2) Thereafter, one of the 12- year - old boys will return with the boat.

3) A soldier will now take the boat to the other side and the soldier will remain there while the other boy returns the boat.

4) Step 1 - 3 is a total of 4 trips. Thus, trip would be repeated the total of n times and the n number of soldiers would get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat after the total of 4n trips.

can anyone help?????? Can y’all write it detailed or like step by step explaining cause i have to write it down ..
inysia [295]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distributive property

Using this property means when you have something like the equation on the right side ( 4 ( x + 3 ) ) you multiply both the values in the parentheses by the number outside:

4 ( x + 3 )

( 4 x X ) + ( 4 x 3 )

4x + 12

8x + 2 = 2x + 4x + 12

Step 2: combine like terms

Combining like terms is when you find like terms with the same variables and such and add them together:

8x + 2 = 12 + ( 2x + 4x )

8x + 2 = 12 + 6x

Step 3:Using inverse operations

This means that you need to get a variable one one side and a constant on the other:

8x + 2 ( -2 ) = 12 ( -2 ) + 6x

8x = 10 + 6x

8x ( -6x ) = 10 + 6x ( -6x )

2x = 10

Step 4: solve for the variable

The last thing you need to do is divide both sides by the constant with the variable ( 2x ) to get x by itself:

2x ( /2 ) = 10 ( /2 )

x = 5
