Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the right side of the equation and simplify:

9x -4 -6x -2(x +1) +5 = 0

9x -6x -2x -4 -2 +5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

x -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

_____

<em>Check</em>

Substitute the value of x where x is found in the equation.

9·1 -4 -6·1 = 2(1 +1) -5

9 - 4 - 6 = 2·2 -5

-1 = 4 -5 . . . . . true. The answer checks OK.

A fruit punch recipe that serves 20 people calls for 32 fluid ounces of pineapple juice and 48 fluid ounces of orange juice. Mon

Hoochie [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

so the ratio of the recipe is 32/48 of pineapple juice and orange juice.

that can be simplified to the ratio of 2/3.

now, she has only 20 floz of pineapple juice.

20/x = 2/3

60/x = 2

60 = 2x

x = 60/2 = 30

she needs 30 floz of orange juice with the 20 floz of pineapple juice to maintain the prescribed ratio for fruit punch.

Can anyone help me out on this not too sure on this

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

y = 0.1x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (-3, 7)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-7, -6)

First of all, we would find the slope;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

$Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}$

$Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Slope = (-6 - (-7))/(7 - (-3))

Slope = (-6 + 7)/(7 + 3)

Slope = 1/10

Slope = 0.1

Next, we would write the equation using the formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-7) = 0.1(x - (-3))

y + 7 = 0.1(x + 3)

y + 7 = 0.1x + 3

y = 0.1x + 3 - 7

y = 0.1x - 4
