Answer:

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3a + 4b = 12

Solving

3a + 4b = 12

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-4b' to each side of the equation.

3a + 4b + -4b = 12 + -4b

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0

3a + 0 = 12 + -4b

3a = 12 + -4b

Divide each side by '3'.

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

Simplifying

a = 4 + -1.333333333b

What is the value of x?

Lelechka [254]

X = 35

use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in order to find the hypotenuse, which is x.

21^2 + 28^2 = c^2
441 + 784 = c^2
1225 = c^2
35 = c

x = 35

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2^-4 = 1/(2x2x2x2)= 1/16

2^5= 2x2x2x2x2= 32

5^3 = 5x5x5= 125

5^-2 = 1/(5x5)= 1/25

Use Use an element argument to prove the state (A-B)U(ANB) = A" is true. he statement "For all sets A and B,

lys-0071 [83]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We have to prove that

$(A-B)\cup (A\cap B)=A$ is true for all sets A and B

Let $x\in(A-B)\cup (A\cap B)$

Then $x\in(A-B)$ or $x\in(A\cap B)$

$x\in A$ and $x\notin B$ or $x\in A\;and\; x\in B$

Hence, $x\in A$

Conversely ,Let $x\in A$

Then x belongs to A and x does not belongs to B then

x belongs to A- B

Or x belongs to A and x belongs to B then x belongs to $A \cap B$

Hence, $x\in( A-B)\cup (A\cap B)$

Therefore, $(A-B)\cup (A\cap B)=A$

Answer:

slope = 3/2
y-intercept = 3
x-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is of the form ...

y = (something).

Here, we can put the equation in that form by subtracting 12x and dividing by the coefficient of y:

12x -8y = -24 . . . . . given

-8y = -12x -24 . . . . .subtract 12x

y = 3/2x +3 . . . . . . . divide by -8

This is the "slope-intercept" form of the equation. Generically, it is written ...

y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, the above equation answers two of your questions:

slope = 3/2

y-intercept = 3

The x-intercept is found fairly easily from the original equation by setting y=0:

12x = -24

x = -24/12 = -2 . . . . . the x-intercept

_____

A graph of the equation can also show you these things. The graph shows a rise of 3 units for a run of 2, so the slope is rise/run = 3/2. The line crosses the axes at x=-2 and y=3, the intercepts.
