Here 2 pieces are cut every 3 inches.

So let us say each piece is 1.5 inches.

Total number of pieces cut are 7.

So length of dowel initially was 7*1.5 = 10.5

Answer : Length of dowel initially was 10.5 inches.

Find the value of x. 6+3x and x+14?
LenaWriter [7]
Simplifying
x + 6 = 3x + -14

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = 3x + -14

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = -14 + 3x

Solving
6 + x = -14 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
6 + x + -3x = -14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x
6 + -2x = -14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
6 + -2x = -14 + 0
6 + -2x = -14

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -2x = -14 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -2x = -14 + -6
-2x = -14 + -6

Combine like terms: -14 + -6 = -20
-2x = -20

Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10

A line passes through the point (4, -6) and has a slope of 3/2 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
tatyana61 [14]

A slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y -intercept

A slope of 3/2 is given

So y = 3/2 x + b

To find b:

b = y - mx

A line passes through the point (4, -6)

b = -6 - (3/2)(4)

b = -6 - 6

b = - 12

Answer

Equation in  slope intercept form:  y = 3/2 x - 12
