6x - 7y = 16

Subtract 6x from both sides.

-7y = -6x + 16

Divide both sides by -7

y = 6/7x - 16/7

Answer:

y = 6/7x -16/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 7y= 16

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-7y-6x = -6x+16

-7y = -6x+16

Divide by -7

-7y/-7 = -6x/-7 + 16/-7

y = 6/7x -16/7

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints. ( 1, -10),<br> (-7, 7).

Snowcat [4.5K]

The mid-point is basically the average of the coordinates. So for the x coordinate do (1+(-7))/2=-3. and for y, do (-10+7)/2=-3/2

This gives you the midpoint as (-3,-3/2)

Two canoes travel down a river, starting at 9:00 a.M. One canoe travels twice as fast as the other. After 4.5 hours, the canoes

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion </u>

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

$v_2=2v_1$

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

$x_1=v_1t$

$x_2=v_2t$

Since

$v_2=2v_1$

Then

$x_2=2v_1t$

The distance between them is

$X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t$

$X=v_1t$

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

$v_1t=15$

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

$\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}$

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour$

$v_2=2\times 3.33$

$\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}$

What does x equal if x-10 divided by x-4 equals 50 divided by -6

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

x=65/14

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-10)/(x-4)=50/-6

-50/6=-25/3

(x-10)/(x-4)=-25/3

x-10=-25/3(x-4)

x-10=-25/3x+100/3

x-(-25/3x)=100/3+10

x+25/3x=130/3

28/3x=130/3

x=(130/3)/(28/3)

x=(130/3)(3/28)

x=130/28

x=65/14
