Six less than five times a number is subtracted from three times the number. if the result is 12, find the number.

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is -3

First, transform the sentence into an equation, and let x be the missing number:

12 = 3x - (5x -6)
12 = 3x -5x + 6
12-6 = 3x - 5x
6 = -2x
x = -3

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line 2y – 3x = 8?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$= \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = mx + c$

Here,

<h2>m => slope</h2><h3>c => intercept</h3>

In this equation ,

$2y - 3x = 8$

to find the value of m or the value of slope we have to solve for y

Let's solve,

$2y - 3x = 8 \\ 2y = 8 + 3x \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{8 + 3x}{2} \\ y = 4 + \frac{3x}{2} \\ y = \frac{3x}{2} + 4$

So, the slope is,

$= \frac{3}{2}$
