X/y=9
x+y=55
x=-y+55
-y+55/y=9
-y+55=9y
-10y=-55
y=5.5
x=49.5

One can convert temperature from Fahrenheit into Newton using the formula N=11/60(F-32) . What is the temperature in Fahrenheit

Rasek [7]

We are given

$N=\frac{11}{60} (F-32)$

Since, we have to solve for F

so, we will isolate F on anyone side

step-1:

Multiply both sides by 60

$60\times N=60\times \frac{11}{60} (F-32)$

$60N=11 (F-32)$

step-2:

Divide both sides by 11

$\frac{60N}{11} =\frac{11(F-32)}{11}$

$\frac{60}{11}N =F-32$

step-3:

Add both sides by 32

$\frac{60}{11}N+32 =F-32+32$

$\frac{60}{11}N+32 =F$

so, we get

$F=\frac{60}{11}N+32$ ................Answer

P what equation in slope-intercept form represents the line that passes through the points (3,5) and (-9,2)

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

$y =\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{22}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, use the slope formula to first find the slope.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{5-2}{3--9}=\frac{3}{3+12}=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}$

Substitute m=1/5 and the point (3,5) into point slope formula.

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-5=\frac{1}{5}(x-3)\\y-5=\frac{1}{5}x -\frac{3}{5}\\y =\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{22}{5}$

What inequality represents the verbal expression? all real numbers less than 70

neonofarm [45]

For this case we have:

Let x be the variable that belongs to the real numbers. Then, all reals less than 70 can be expressed as:

$x$

The tip of the inequality is directed to the real numbers, since they tell us that they are less than 70, for 70 the inequality remains open.

Answer:

$x$
