to be a parallelogram its front sides must be equal to each other

so, we equalize the length of two sides that are face to face

$\begin{gathered} 5w-25=w+15 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

and solve for w

$\begin{gathered} 5w-w=15+25 \\ 4w=40 \\ w=\frac{40}{4} \\ \\ w=10 \end{gathered}$

the value of w must be 10

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line 7x - 3y = 68; containing the point (8, -8)

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac{-3}{7}x-\dfrac{32}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A line 7x - 3y = 68 and containing the point (8, -8).

The equation can be written as :

$-3y=68-7x\\\\y=\dfrac{68}{-3}+\dfrac{7x}{3}\\\\y=\dfrac{7x}{3}+(\dfrac{-68}{3})$

The slope is :7/3

Line is perpendicular so use m = –3/7

$-8=(-\dfrac{3}{7})\times 8+b\\\\-8+\dfrac{3}{7}\times 8=b\\\\b=\dfrac{-32}{7}$

So, required equation is :

$y=\dfrac{-3}{7}x-\dfrac{32}{7}$

A bacteria culture contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After one hour the population has increased

xenn [34]

We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

For the inverse variation equation xy = k, what is the value of x when y = 4 and k = 7? 3 28

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the inverse variation equation is

$xy=k$ ..... (1)

The value of y is 4 and the value of k is 7.

Substitute y=4 and k=7 in equation (1).

$x\times 4=7$

Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{x\times 4}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

$x=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore the value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .
