Which of the following represents “ 10 times the sum of a number and 14 is equal 9 times the number”?
solong [7]

Answer:

The expressión is:

10(a+14) = 9a

and the number is:

-140

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is:

10(a+14) = 9a

then:

10*a + 10*14 = 9a

10a + 140 = 9a

10a - 9a = -140

a = -140

Check:

10(-140+14) = 9*140

10*-126 = 1260

If (x-2)(y-1)=3 and (x+2)(2y-5)=15,
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y = 10

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y - 10 = 10 - 10

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y - 10 = 0

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x - 2x + 4y - 10 = 0 - 2x

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 4y - 10 = - 2x

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: - 10 + 4y = - 2x

Notice that Equation 1 = Equation 2

One Solution

Equation 1: x - y = -10

Equation 2: 2x + 3y = 15

What is 4x-2y=8 in slope intercept form?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation: In slope-intercept form or y = mx + b form,

the y is isolated or by itself on the left side of the equation.

So start by subtracting 4x from both sides.

That gives us -2y = 4x - 8.

Notice I put the x term first because in y = mx + b form,

the x term comes first on the left side of the equation.

From here, we divide both sides by -2 to get y = -2x + 4.

Solve the equation for y.<br> 2x + 5y = 5<br> y=x +1<br> y= -10% + 25<br> y=22+1<br> y=x +5
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

y=-2/5x+1

y=x+1

y=249/10

y=23

y=x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

y=x+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

x+5=y

Step 2: Add -5 to both sides.

x+5+−5=y+−5

x=y−5

Answer:

x=y−5
