Answer:

D. s=32

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we want to find out what s is. In order to do this, we have to get s by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

–5(s – 30) = –10

s-30 is being multiplied by -5. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -5.

–5(s – 30)/-5= –10/-5

s-30=-10/-5

s-30=2

30 is being subtracted from s. The opposite of subtraction is addition. Add 30 to both sides.

s-30+30=2+30

s=2+30

s=32

Let's check our solution. Substitute 32 in for s in the original equation. If our solution is correct, the left side of the equation should match the right side.

–5(s – 30) = –10

-5(32-30)=-10

-5(2)= -10

-10=-10

The statement above is true, so we know that s is equal to 32, and D is the correct answer.

Answer:

s = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

–5(s – 30) = –10

Divide each side by -5

–5/ -5(s – 30) = –10/-5

s - 30 = 2

Add 30 to each side

s-30+30 = 2+30

s = 32

For the linear equation 3x + 7y = 42: a. Determine the slope: b. Determine y- intercept if it exists: c. Express equation in slo

algol13

Answer: The required answers are

(a) the slope of the given line is $-\dfrac{3}{7}.$

(b) y-intercept exists and is equal to 6.

(c) the slope-intercept form of the line is $y=-\dfrac{3}{7}x+6.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following linear equation in two variables :

$3x+7y=42~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We are to :

(a) determine the slope,

(b) determine the y-intercept, if exists

and

(c) express equation in slope-intercept form.

We know that

The SLOPE_INTERCEPT form of the equation of a straight line is given by

$y=mx+c,$ where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

From equation (i), we have

$3x+7y=42\\\\\Rightarrow 7y=-3x+42\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-3x+42}{7}\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{3}{7}x+6.$

Comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get

$\textup{slope, m}=-\dfrac{3}{7},\\\\\\\textup{y-intercept, c}=6.$

Thus,

(a) the slope of the given line is $-\dfrac{3}{7}.$

(b) y-intercept exists and is equal to 6.

(c) the slope-intercept form of the line is $y=-\dfrac{3}{7}x+6.$
