3a+b=54\\\\ Substitute\ b\ =\ 9\ into\ the\ equation.\\\\3a+(9)=54\\\\Subtract\ 9\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\3a=45\\\\Divide\ by\ 3\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\{\boxed{a=15}

If you would like to solve the equation 3 * a + b = 54, when b = 9, you can calculate this using the following steps:

b = 9
3 * a + b = 54
3 * a + 9 = 54
3 * a = 54 - 9
3 * a = 45     /3
a = 45/3
a = 15

The correct result would be 15.

jonny [76]

Answer:

The equation that represents the new path is y=(1/2)x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the give line

we have

y=-2x-7

so

the slope m is equal to

m=-2

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other

so

we have

m=-2 -----> slope of the given line

therefore

The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to

m=1/2

step 3

With m=1/2 and the point (-2,-3) find the equation of the line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute

y+3=(1/2)(x+2)

y=(1/2)x+1-3

y=(1/2)x-2 -----> equation that represent the new path
