Two-step equations with decimals and fractions Solve for p. −5(p+ 3/5 )=−4

Mathematics

Answer:

1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(p+3/5)=-4

Let's convert 3/5 to decimal form:

-5(p+0.6)=-4

Expand parentheses:

-5p-3=-4

Add -3 to both sides:

-5p=-1

Divide both sides by -5:

p=1/5 or 0.2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

p = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

−5(p+ 3/5 )=−4

Distribute

-5p -5(3/5) = -4

-5p -3 = -4

Add 3 to each side

-5p -3+3 = -4+3

-5p = -1

Divide each side by -5

-5p/-5 = -1/-5

p = 1/5

What is the slope of this line?<br> y = -2x + 6
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

<h2>slope = -2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<em>y = mx + b</em>

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

<em />

We have the equation:

<em>y = -2x + 6</em>

therefore

<em>m = -2</em>

<em>b = 6</em>

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1
Nuetrik [128]

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1 has a slope of -2.


now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope =  m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5

Can someone please help mee.<br><br> use transformations to solve the equation.<br><br> 3 2/3x = 22
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1. Note that

3\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}=\dfrac{9+2}{3}=\dfrac{11}{3}.

2. Then the equation 3\dfrac{2}{3}x=22 can be rewritten

\dfrac{11}{3}x=22.

3. Solve it:

x=22:\dfrac{11}{3},\\ \\x=22\cdot \dfrac{3}{11}=2\cdot 3=6.

Answer: x=6
