The statement is an equation in word form, so to solve, write the statement as an equation. In the phrase "The quotient of a number and 9" let X represent "a number." The statement as an expression is X / 9. "Is the same as" indicates the two expressions are equal, and "the difference of 14 and 8" means 14 - 8.

Put it together and you get the expression X / 9 = 14 - 8. From here, you have to solve for X by simplifying the expression and multiplying both sides by 9.

X / 9 = 14 - 8

X / 9 = 6

9 (X / 9) = (6) 9

X = 36

Answer:

y=-x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by graphing y=-x+5. Then mark the point (2,4) for easier reference. A parallel line just has the same slope, so if you make another line with the same slope, and change the y-intercept until the line goes through (2,4), you will have the answer.

Answer:

The values for both of the missing sides is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle = a(square root of 2)

Therefore the other two missing sides equal a.

Therefore, the other two sides equal 8.
