107 = 7 -2 (7b - 1)

First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis

-2(7b - 1) = -14b + 2

107 = 7 -14b + 2

Combine like terms

107 = -14b (+7 + 2)

107 = -14b + 9

Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Subtract 9 from both sides

107 (-9) = -14b + 9 (-9)

107 - 9 = -14b

98 = -14b

Isolate the b. Divide -14 from both sides

(98)/-14 = (-14b)/-14

98/-14 = b

b = −7

-7 is your answer

hope this helps

consider the point A= (1,2) and the line B, given by the equation y=3x-5. write an equation in slope intercept of the line passi

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 3 = - 1

y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line

4 Consider the triangle below.

Maurinko [17]

<h2>=>> <u>Solution (part A</u>) :</h2>

Given :

▪︎Triangle AMG is an isosceles triangle.

▪︎Measure of segment AM = (x+1.4) inches

▪︎Measure of segment MG = (2x+0.1) inches

▪︎Measure of segment AG = (3x-0.4) inches

▪︎segment AG is the base of triangle AMG.

Since AG is the base of the isosceles triangle AMG, segment AM and segment MG will be equal.

Which means :

$= \tt x + 1.4 = 2x + 0.1$

$= \tt x + 1.4 - 0.1 = 2x$

$= \tt \: x + 1.3 = 2x$

$= \tt 1.3 = 2x - x$

$\color{plum} \hookrightarrow \tt x = 1.3$

Thus, the value of x = 1.3

Therefore :

▪︎The value of x = 1.3

<h2>=>> <u>Solution (Part B)</u> :</h2>

We know that :

▪︎The value of x = 1.3

Which means :

The length of the leg AM :

$= \tt x + 1.4$

$= \tt 1.3 + 1.4$

$\color{plum} \tt leg \: AM= 2.7 \: inches$

Thus, the length of the leg AM = 2.7 inches

The length of leg MG :

$= \tt 2x + 0.1$

$= \tt2 \times 1.3 + 0.1$

$= \tt 2.6 + 0.1$

$\color{plum} \tt\: leg \:MG = 2.7 \: inches$

Thus, the length of the leg MG = 2.7 inches

Since the measure of the two legs are equal (2.7=2.7), we can conclude that we have found out the correct length of each leg.

Therefore :

▪︎Measure of leg AM = 2.7 inches

▪︎Measure of leg MG = 2.7 inches

<h2>=>> <u>Solution </u><u>(</u><u>part C</u><u>)</u> :</h2>

We know that :

Value of x = 1.3

Then, measure of the base AG :

$= \tt 3x - 0.4$

$= \tt 3 \times 1.3 - 0.4$

$= \tt 3.9 - 0.4$

$\color{plum}\tt \: Base \: AG = 3.5 \: inches$

Thus, the measure of the base = 3.5 inches

Therefore :

▪︎ the length of base AG = 3.5 inches.
