Answer:

5x/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the mystery number is "x"

5 times that = 5 * x = 5x

Then the quotient (that means the result of division, so divide!) of that and 2 would give you: 5x/2

Write an equation, in point-slope form, for the line that goes through points (4,4) and (-4,-1).

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

C.) Y= 5/8x + 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, calculate the slope between points (4,4) and (-4,-1). After, substitute the slope and a point into the point slope form.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4--1}{4--4}= \frac{5}{8}$

Substitute m = 5/8 and the point (4,4) into the point slope form.

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y -4 = \frac{5}{8}(x-4)\\y-4 = \frac{5}{8}x - \frac{20}{8} \\\y = \frac{5}{8}x - 2{1}{2} + 4 \\ y = \frac{5}{8}x + 1\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

A. is incorrect. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtracting 19 to 76.

B. This equation has one solution. v=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Martin’s answer is incorrect.

A. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtract 19 to 76.

The correct steps are:

19v = 76

Since 19 is multiplying the variable, to eliminate it we have to divide by 19.

v = 76/19

v = 4

B. This equation has one solution. It’s v=4
