Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x + 3) = 15

Distribute the -5

-5x -15 =15

Add 15 to each side

-5x-15+15 =15+15

-5x = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5x/-5 = 30/-5

x =-6

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that goes through the point (-2,-5) and (3,5)

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Let’s first find the slope, which is y2-y1/x2-x1

Let’s make the point (-2,-5) our x1 and y1 and let’s make the point (3,5) our x2 and y2.

5+5/3+2

10/5

2 = slope

So far, our equation is looking like this:

y=2x + b

To find the y-intercept (b), let’s plug in one of the points.

Let’s use the point (3,5)

(5)=2(3) + b

5=6 + b

What adds to 6 to equal 5? -1

So, our y-intercept is going to be -1

Finally, our equation is going to look like this:

y=2x-1

Hope I helped!

A city planner makes a scale drawing of a proposed playground. The length of the actual playground is 78 feet, and the width is

Allushta [10]

Answer:

B) 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the actual dimensions by the scale gives the scale dimensions:

(0.5 in)/(6 ft) × {78 ft, 42 ft}

= {39/6 in, 21/6 in}

= {6.5 in, 3.5 in}

The size on the scale drawing is 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

Answer:

Jessica Bradley - 856 Points

Tina Harner - 707 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

FULL QUESTION:

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 149 more points than Tina Harner, her teammate. Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1563 points. How many points did each player score during the championship?

Let T = points scored by Tina Harner

J = points scored by Tina Harner

She scored 149 more points than Tina Harner, her teammate. This means;

J = T + 149...........(i)

Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1563 points. This means;

J + T = 1563 .........(ii)

How many points did each player score during the championship?

We have to find T and J.

Substitute value of J from eqn (i) into eqn (ii)

T + 149 + T = 1563

2T = 1563 - 149 = 1414

T = 1414 / 2 = 707

J = 707 + 149 = 856

Jessica Bradley - 856 Points

Tina Harner - 707 Points
