Answer:

option (b) is correct.

The value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2) is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)

Simplify both side by multiplying 1.5 with each term in bracket on left side, and multiplying 4.5 with each term in bracket on right side, we get,

1.5x + 6 – 3 = 4.5x – 9

Now, simplify both sides, we get,

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x – 9

Taking like terms one side, we get,

4.5x - 1.5x = 9 + 3

Simplify, we get,

3 x = 12

divide both side by 3 , we get,

x = 4

Thus, the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2) is 4.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

The correct answer is 4

1.5 (4+4) -3 = 9

Which of the following line passes through point (-4,5) and is parallel to the line segment whose endpoints are at (-2,-3) and (

NNADVOKAT [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

Then, the requested line will have a slope equal to:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {5 - (- 3)} {2 - (- 2)} = \frac {5 +3} {2 + 2} = \frac {8} {4} = 2$

Thus, the line is of the form:

$y = 2x + b$

We substitute point $(-4,5)$ and find "b":

$5 = 2 (-4) + b\\5 = -8 + b\\5 + 8 = b\\b = 13$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = 2x + 13$

Answer:

$y = 2x + 13$
