Parallel = same slope
Y = -4x + b
(0,8) y intercept; plug in
Solution: y = -4x + 8
Answer:
x = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+22) + (x+6) + (x-28) = 180
x + 22 + x + 6 + x - 28 = 180
x + x + x + 22 + 6 - 28 = 180
3x = 180
x = 180/3
x = 60
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -15 ± √((15)^2 - 4(2)(4)) ] / ( 2(2) )
x = [-15 ± √(225 - (32) ) ] / ( 4 )
x = [-15 ± √(193) ] / ( 4)
x = [-15 ± sqrt(193) ] / ( 4 )
x = -15/4 ± sqrt(193)/4
The answers are -15/4 + sqrt(193)/4 and -15/4 - sqrt(193)/4.
