The value of p is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 : The given expression is -6( p -5 )

step 2 : To find any unknown value in an expression, equate it to zero.

step 3 : -6( p -5 ) = 0

step 4 : Multiply -6 to each term in the bracket.

-6p + 30 = 0

-6p = -30

p = -30/-6

p = 5

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -3x + 1 and passes through (2,3)?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+2\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-3x+1\to m_1=-3.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-3}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(2,\ 3).$

$\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=2,\ y=3:\\\\3=\dfrac{1}{3}(2)+b\\\\3=\dfrac{2}{3}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\b=2\dfrac{1}{3}$

The formula below gives the sum of the degrees, S, of the interior angles of a polygon. If n represents the number of sides, whi

Helga [31]

Answer:

The equation representing the value of n is, $n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the sum of the degrees, S, of the interior angles of a polygon is:

$S=(n-2)\times 180^{\text{o}}$

Compute the equation of n as follows:

$S=(n-2)\times 180^{\text{o}}$

$\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}=(n-2)$

$n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$

Thus, the equation representing the value of n is, $n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$ .

Madeleine says she can use a clock to show that 5/60 and 1/12 are equivalent fractions. Do you think she is correct? Explain.

Rasek [7]

Yes, 5/60, 5 divided by 5=1. 60 divided by 5= 12. Leaving you with 1/12. Meaning that both fractions are equivalent

A florist is creating centerpieces for an upcoming event later this evening. She has already been working for two hours and has

Ratling [72]

Since, she has already been working for two hours (120 minutes) and has budgeted only 6 hours (360 minutes) to create the centerpieces.

Since, each centerpiece takes 15 minutes to make, the time it takes her to make x centerpieces is given by 15x.

Therefore, the correct inequality representing the situation is given by 120 + 15x ≤ 360.
