The number of people in the expedition is the 14.

According to the statement

we have to find that the number of people in the expedition.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b. involving only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

According to the statement

The group must carry a total of 336 pounds of equipment as well as each person must carry 25 pounds of food.

From this the equation become:

25x = 336

x = 336/25

x = 13.86

Approximately x is the 14.

So, The number of people in the expedition is the 14.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−6) and is parallel to the line x−2y=8?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1 - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

Solve for v pls thanks

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

v = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

8/3v = 48

were going to have to get 3 on the other side, so were going to cancel it out and multipliy it because it is a fraction

now we would have 8v = 48*3

48*3=144

now the equation looks like this 8v = 144

to isolate v we can divide 8 on both sides

which brings us to v = 18

High Hopes^^

When solving a compound inequality. Micah wrote the solution as x> or equal to 50 OR x>or equal to 75. What is a simpler w

REY [17]

Answer:

The best way of writing this answer in an inequality pattern is 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "x" is said to be greater than or equal to 50, that means that x could be 50, 51, 52, 53, 54......to infinity, all these values are true for x.

The second solution said x is greater or equal to 70. This also means that x could be 70, 71, 72, 73, ......... to infinity.

The inference that can be drawn from here is that x actually started from 50, so anything lesser than 50 is lesser than x, so 50 ≤ x. We can join the two answers together to get a range in a form like: 50 ≤ x ≥ 70
