Micah has 294 songs stored in his phone which is 70% of the songs that Jorge has stored in his phone. How many

1 answer:

7 0

X - the numer of songs stored on Jorge's phone

$70\%x=294 \\
\frac{70}{100}x=294 \\
\frac{7}{10}x=294 \\
x=294 \times \frac{10}{7} \\
x=42 \times 10 \\
x=420$

420 songs are stored on Jorge's phone.

A wise man once said, “400 reduced by 3 times my age is 163.” What is his age? ( I need the step by step equation to solve this)

Ainat [17]

Answer: the wise man is 79

Step-by-step explanation:

400 - 3x = 163

400–163 =3x

237 = 3x or 3x = 237 or x = 79…

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (5, 1) that is perpendicular to the line 5x+3y=15. An equation of the li

Answer:

$\displaystyle y = \frac{3}{5}\, x + (-2)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line in a plane would be $m$ if the equation of that line could be written in the slope-intercept form $y = m\, x + b$ for some constant $b$ .

Find the slope of the given line by rearranging its equation into the slope-intercept form.

$3\, y = (-5)\, x + 15$ .

$\displaystyle y = \frac{(-5)}{3} \, x + 5$ .

Thus, the slope of the given line would be $(-5) / 3$ .

Two lines in a plane are perpendicular to one another if and only if the product of their slopes is $(-1)$ .

Let $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ denote the slope of the given line and the slope of the line in question, respectively.

Since the two lines are perpendicular to each other, $m_{1}\, m_{2} = (-1)$ . Apply the fact that the slope of the given line is $m_{1} = (-5) / 3$ and solve for $m_{2}$ , the slope of the line in question.

$\begin{aligned}m_{2} &= \frac{(-1)}{m_{1}} \\ &= \frac{(-1)}{(-5) / 3} = \frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the slope of the line perpendicular to $5\, x + 3\, y = 15$ would be $(3 / 5)$ .

If the slope of a line in a plane is $m$ , and that line goes through the point $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ , the equation of that line in point-slope form would be:

$(y - y_{0}) = m\, (x - x_{0})$ .

Since the slope of the line in question is $(3 / 5)$ and that line goes through the point $(5,\, 1)$ , the equation of that line in point-slope form would be:
