X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

A line intersects the points (-5, 1) and (-2,7). What is the slope of the line in simplest form? m=[?}
IrinaK [193]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope : y2- y1 / x2 - x1

we have ( -5 , 1 ) which is ( x1 , y1 )

and ( -2 , 7 ) is ( x2 , y2 )

so; 7 - 1 / -2 - (-5)

6/3

= <u>2</u>

Find [h(x) +m(x)]-[h(x)-m(x)]<br> H(x)=1/3x3/3 3x2+9x-2<br> M(x)=13 3/5x+6x3-2x2-4x
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

\frac{276}{5}-8x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with

H(x)=1/3x3/3 3x2+9x-2

And

M(x)=13 3/5x+6x3-2x2-4x

And asked to determine

[h(x) +m(x)]-[h(x)-m(x)]

Opening the second parenthesis

h(x) +m(x)-h(x)+m(x)

As we subtracted the second bracket, the sign get reversed.

As h(x) has opposite signs , they get cancelled

h(x) +m(x)-h(x)+m(x)

=2m(x)

=2(13\tfrac{3}/{5}x+6x3-2x2-4x)

=2(\frac{13 \times 5 + 3}{5}+18-4-4x)

=2(\frac{68}{5}+14-4x)

=2(\frac{68+70}{5}-4x)

=2(\frac{138}{5}-4x)

=\frac{276}{5}-8x)
