The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of

the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Which is an equivalent equation solved for the slope, m?

Y=mx+b
minus b both sides
y-b=mx
divide both sides by x
(y-b)/x=m
m=(y-b)/x

Solve the inequality for u<br>-5u+27 [less than or equal to] 2

baherus [9]

Answer:

5≤u

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the words and numbers into an equation:

-5u+27≤2

Put all like terms on one side:

27-2≤5u ---> Do you see what I did there? Now you don't have to work with negatives. :)

Simplify:

25≤5u

Solve:

5≤u

I don´t understand this: Lin’s father is paying for a $20 meal. a) He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. How much is the discoun

Naddika [18.5K]

You'll have to set this up as two separate problems. First, we want to take 15% off the original $20 bill. To do this, you're going to multiply 20 by .15, which gives you $3. So, 15% off $20 is $17.

Now, we want to find 7% of the new bill, so we're going to multiply 17 by .07 to get $1.19, and add it to the $17, making the final bill $18.19. You could also multiply $17 by 1.07 to get your final total without the extra step in the middle, but only do that once you're comfortable with the math.

Will give 25 points and brainliest answer if correct

Let $d$ be the common difference between terms in the sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\ge1}$ . Then

$a_{19}=-58$
$a_{20}=a_{19}+d$
$a_{21}=a_{19}+2d$
$\implies-164=-58+2d\implies d=-53$

The first term in the sequence, $a_1$ , satisfies

$a_2=a_1+d$
$a_3=a_1+2d$
$a_4=a_1+3d$
...
$a_{19}=a_1+18d$
$\implies-58=a_1+18(-53)\implies a_1=896$

So the explicit formula for the $n$ -th term in the sequence is

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\implies a_n=896-53(n-1)$
