"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
A ratio is is statement of how two nummber's compare
We know that
if two lines are perpendicular
then
the slopes
m1*m2=-1
step 1
find the slope AB
A (0,2)
B (-3,-3)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(-3-2)/(-3-0)-----> m=-5/-3----> m1=5/3
step 2
find the slope CD
C (-4,1)
D (0,-2)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(-2-1)/(0+4)-----> m=--3/4----> m2=-3/4
step 3
multiply mi*m2
(5/3)*(-3/4)-----> -15/12
so
15/12 is not -1
therefore
AB is not perpendicular to CD
After plugging in X =1 and Y=-3 your answer would be -14
