4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable of y from one side of the equation.
-14=5(3y-10)-5y
<u>First, switch sides.</u>
Use the distributive property.
<u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:</u>
A(B-C)=AB-AC
5(3y-10)
Multiply by expand.
5*3y=15y
5*10=50
15y-50-5y
15y-5=10y
= 10y-50
10y-50=-15
Add by 50 from both sides.
10y-50+50=-15+50
Solve.
10y=35
Then, you divide by 10 from both sides.
10y/10=35/10
Solve.
Divide the numbers from left to right.
35/10=7/2
y=7/2
Divide is another option.
7/2=3.5
- <u>Therefore, the correct answer is y=7/2.</u>
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
C is your answer. Because 8 times 1.75$ = $14.00 and 5 times 1.25= $6.25. So $14.00+ $6.25 = $20.25
The mean is 21. The median is 15. The mode is 15. The range is 16.
Answer:
30-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
yuson has to finish am total of 30 hours in community service
she does 2 hours each day
in x days, hour of service done=2x
after x days hours of service left=30-2x
therefore the linear equation representing the hours yuson has left after x days is:
30-2x
