Answer: 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x+4=3x−5

−(x+4)=3x−5

2. Solve the 1st equation: x+4=3x−5.

x=9/2

3. Solve the 2nd equation: −(x+4)=3x−5

x=1/4

4. Collect all solutions.

x=1/4,9/2

5. Check solution

When x=1/4, the original equation ∣x+4∣=3x−5 does not hold true.

We will drop x=1/4 from the solution set.

6. Therefore,

x=9/2

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.

A mystery number is multiplied by 11 then 10 is subtracted from it to give you a result of 34. What is the mystery number?

klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

And let the missing number be x

We can solve using Algebra

11x - 10 = 34

11x = 34 + 10

11x = 44

x = 44/11

x = 4

For verification:

4(11) - 10 = 34

44 - 10 = 34

34 = 34

Hence, Proved
