Is the ordered pair (-2, 9) a solution of the equation y = x – 7?

No because if you plug in the ordered pair you would get 9=-2-7 which equals -9 making -9 and 9 unequal means (-2,9) is not a solution.

To find if (-2,9) is a solution of the equation y = x - 7, just plug the values back into the original equation. You can get these values by using the coordinate point.
$9 = -2 - 7
$
$9 ≠ -9$
Since the values are not equal, the coordinate point (-2,9) is not a solution of the equation y = x - 7. Hope this helps and have a fabulous day!

Work out the perimeter

Tasya [4]

Answer:

46CM

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = S + S + S + S + S + S + S +S

Perimeter = 9 + 7 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 2

Perimeter = 46 cm

The other 4 measurements:

5 is from the other side labelled 5 this is because they are equal.

8 is from the other side labelled 8 this is because they are equal too!

The twos are from the difference between 9 and 7.

Jackson and Jonah are both swimming. Jackson swims at 1350 meters per hour. Jonah swims at a speed of 1250 millimeters per secon

Vladimir [108]

For this question we will use the following relations.

100 centimeters=1 meter (or 1 centimeter= 0.01 meter)

10 millimeter=1 centimeter (or 1 mm=0.1 cm)

60 minutes = 1 hour (or 1 min= $\frac{1}{60}$ hour)

Now, Jackson's speed is 1350 meters per hour. This can be converted to cm per minute as follows:

$\frac{1350 m}{1 h}=\frac{1350\times 100 cm}{60 min}=2250 cm/min$ ...Equation 1

Likewise, Jonah's swim speed in cm/min can be calculated as:

$\frac{1250 mm}{1 s}=\frac{1250\times 0.1 cm}{\frac{1}{60}min } =\frac{125\times 60 cm}{1 min}=7500cm/min$ ...Equation 2

As we can see clearly after comparing Equation 1 and Equation 2, Jonah's swim speed of 7500 cm/min is faster than that of Jackson.

Thus, option B is correct.

Solve for ppp. 16-3p=\dfrac23p+516−3p= 3 2 p+516, minus, 3, p, equals, start fraction, 2, divided by, 3, end fraction, p, plus

Ksivusya [100]

Given:

The given equation is:

$16-3p=\dfrac{2}{3}p+5$

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

We have,

$16-3p=\dfrac{2}{3}p+5$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$3(16-3p)=3\left(\dfrac{2}{3}p+5\right)$

$48-9p=2p+15$

Isolating the variable terms, we get

$48-15=2p+9p$

$33=11p$

Divide both sides by 11, we get

$\dfrac{33}{11}=p$

$3=p$

Therefore, the required solution is $p=3$ .
