2(x -1) = 14

2*x - 2*1 = 14

2x - 2 = 14

2x = 14 + 2

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

There are 32 students in a class. Of the class, 3/8 of the students bring their own lunches. How many students bring their lunch

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of students that bring their lunches

y -----> the total number of students in a class

we know that

The number of students that bring their lunches divided by the total number of students in a class must be equal to 3/8

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{8}$

$x=\frac{3}{8}y$ -----> equation A

$y=32$ -----> equation B

substitute the value of y in equation A and solve for x

$x=\frac{3}{8}(32)$

$x=12$

therefore

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12

Please help me with this question!!!!!

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form that passes through (4, -8) and is perpendicular to the graph $y= \frac {2}{5} x - 3$ is below

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the equation $y= \frac{2}{5} x -3$ is $m_1 = \frac{2}{5}$

Since slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other, therefore slope of other line is given as

$m_2 = - \frac {1}{m_1} = - \frac {5}{2}$

Equation of line in point slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

Here (x1, y1) = (4, -8)

$y+8 = - \frac{5}{2} (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + \frac {5}{2} 4 - 8$

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$
