Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 14 + 10x = 34

8x + 14 = 34

8x = 34 - 14

8x = 20

x = 20/8

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Combine the like terms first
14 +8x =34
Subtract 14 both sides
8x = 20
Divide both sides by 8
x = 20/8
Reduce
x= 5/2
x = 2 1/2 or 2.5

A line includes the points (-39,49) and (0,0). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

$y=-\frac{49}{39}x+0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-39,49)

(0,0)

Finding the slope between the points using the formula

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-39,\:49\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:0\right)$

$m=\frac{0-49}{0-\left(-39\right)}$

$m=-\frac{49}{39}$

We know that the point-slope of the line equation is

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting $m=-\frac{49}{39}$ and (-39,49) in the equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-49=\frac{-49}{39}\left(x-\left(-39\right)\right)$

Now writing the equation in slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

$y-49=\frac{-49}{39}\left(x-\left(-39\right)\right)$

$y-49=\frac{-49}{39}\left(x+39\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$y-49=-\frac{49}{39}\left(x+39\right)$

$\mathrm{Add\:}49\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$y-49+49=-\frac{49}{39}\left(x+39\right)+49$

$y=-\frac{49}{39}x+0$ ∵ $y=mx+b$

Where

$m=-\frac{49}{39}$ and the y-intercept i.e. $b=0$

Therefore, the equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

$y=-\frac{49}{39}x+0$

Evaluate M^2 /p^2 for M = 10, N =-5p and P = -2

kondaur [170]

<u>Answer: </u>

The solution of $\bold{\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}}}$ for M = 10, N = -5P and P = -2 is 25

<u>Solution: </u>

From question, given that the value of M is 10 and N is -5p and P is -2

We have to evaluate the value of $\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}}$ ,

By substituting the values of M and N, we get

$\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}} = \frac{10^{2}}{(-2)^{2}}$

Expanding $\bold{10^{2}}$ :

Here 10 is the base value and 2 is the exponent value. So the base term 10 is multiplied by itself two times.

$10^{2} = 10 \times 10 = 100$

Similarly expanding $\bold{(-2)^{2}}$ :

Here -2 is the base term and 2 is the exponent value. So the base term -2 is multiplied by itself two times.

$(-2)^{2} = -2 \times -2 = 4$

So the equation $\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}} = \frac{10^{2}}{(-2)^{2}}$ becomes,

$\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}} = \frac{100}{4}$

By dividing 100 by 4 , we get the result as 25

Hence the solution of $\bold{\frac{M^{2}}{P^{2}}}$ when M = 10 and P = -2 is 25

Jessica and Raphael are saving money for concert tickets. Jessica has $20 and saves 10 per week.

Burka [1]

They have the same amount on week 5 ($70)
The Answer would be: $70
((Got this correct on my quiz, If you need it explained, It is below))
The easiest way to do this is to not pay attention to the y=x equation, because the solution is already in the information, this may confuse you and youre wasting time to solve it. Jess has $20 BEFORE saving and gets $10 WEEKLY, Raph has $40 BEFORE saving and gets $6 WEEKLY. In the chart/information, add the amount it takes to get Jess up to $40 then add $10 for every week on going until both their balances are equal. They match on the 5th week with $70 // If the information is different substitute the names/numbers/etc. Hope this helped you and anyone else looking for the answer!
