-3(1-2x)-3=-20-8x what is the work and answer

1 answer:

4 0

You have to keep order of operations in mind.

1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x

2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14

3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1

What is the equation of a line that passes through (1,5) and (3,11)? Show work please.

jekas [21]

First, find the gradient/slope:
Use slope formula:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(11-5)/(3-1)
=6/2
=3
Then use the line equation formula:
y=mx+c
You can substitute (1,5) if you like, also must substitute the slope as well!
5=3x1+c
c=2
Then find the full equation, which gives you the answer:
y=3x+2

First, we must know this: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 90°, while supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 180°. That been said, the only statement which is true is the second statement, <span>MNL is complementary to KNL

Reasons why others are False
</span>GNJ is supplementary to JNK, not complementary
MNG is supplementary to GNJ, not complementary
LNJ (not KNJ) <span>is supplementary to MNL
</span>GNM is equal to JNK, not supplementary
