Solve the equation:

          5              3
x  –  ——  =  –  ——
          7              7


           5
Add  ——  to both sides, so you get  x  isolated at the left-hand side:
           7

          5          5               3          5
x  –  ——  +  ——  =  –  ——  +  ——
          7           7              7           7

              3          5
x  =  –  ——  +  ——
              7           7


Now, add those fractions at the right-hand side of the equation:

          – 3 + 5
x  =  —————
               7

          2
x  =  ——     <———    this is the answer (first option:  2/7).
          7


I hope this helps. =)

Answer: D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y-1=2(x--2)

Change signs

y-1=2(x+2)

Expand parenthesis

y-1=2x+4

Add 1 on both sides to isolate "y"

y-1+1=2x+4+1

y=2x+4

So the slope is 2

Hope this helps!! :)

EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504

D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students at East Middle School and these numbers of students are proportional to the number of left and right handed students at East Middle School.

Given the above information, we are are to determine which two options could be the the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High.

Ratio of right handed to left handed students at East Middle School = \frac{609}{58} = 10.5

Checking for ratios of the given options:

A. \frac{483}{42} =11.5

B. \frac{378}{28} =13.5

C. \frac{504}{48} =10.5

D. \frac{560}{56} =10

E. \frac{315}{30} =10.5

Therefore, the possible numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High could be C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504 and D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315.

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -8
Schach [20]

Answer:

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -8.  That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).

Then the desired equation is

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)
