Alex = 6x
Peter = x

6x = x + 50
5x = 50
x = 10

Alex = £60
Peter = £10

Find the equation of the straight line which passes through each of the following pairs of points.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find slope:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

10 - 4/ 3 - 1 = 6 / 2 = 3

Then, put the equation into point-slope form using the point (1, 4):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope

y - 4 = 3(x - 1)

If you want to put this into slope-intercept form, it would be

y-4=3(x-1)\\y - 4 = 3x - 3\\y = 3x + 1

patriot [66]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 12.75

  ∠C = 51.75°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two marked angles are complementary, so ...

  (5x -12) +(3x) = 90

  8x = 102

  x = 102/8

  x = 12.75

__

C = (5x -12)° = (5(12.75) -12)°

  ∠C = 51.75°

__

<em>Check</em>

E = 3x = 38.25, then C+E = 51.75 +38.25 = 90 . . . . as it should
