Solve the following equation for the variable indicated<br> 15 = Зn + 6р, for n
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Solving the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n we get \mathbf{n=5-2p}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n

Solving:

15 = 3n + 6p

Subtract both sides by 6p

15-6p = 3n +6p -6p\\15-6p=3n

Switch sides of equality

3n=15-6p

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3n}{3} =\frac{15-6p}{3}\\n=\frac{3(5-2p)}{3}\\n=5-2p

So, solving the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n we get \mathbf{n=5-2p}

Find the equation of the line containing the point (3, 3) and parallel to the line
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

only the constant changes

y = 2x + b

To find "b"

Plug in point (3, 3)

3 = 2(3) + b

3 = 6 + b

Subtract 6 from both sides

-3 = b

The equation for the parallel line is

y = 2x - 3
