A bar of soap weighs as much as 3/4 of an identical bar plus 3/4 of a pound. How much does the bar of soap weigh?

1 answer:

5 0

3/4=0.75
Since 3/4 (of the bar) + 1/4 (of the bar) equals a whole bar (1), and 3/4 (of the bar) + 0.75 equals the whole weight of the bar, 0.75 is 1/4 of the bar. 1/4 times 4 equals 1, and 0.75 times 4 equals 3, so the bar of soap weighs 3 pounds.

Equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2} (x + 2)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rearrange the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2} (x + 2) \\ \\
 y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1 \\ \\
 y - 9 + 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1 + 9 \ \Longleftarrow \text{add 9 to both side} \\ \\
 y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 8$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
slope of the perpendicular line
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
slope = 2

(*the slope of the perpendicular line is the <span>negative reciprocal of the slope of line)</span>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute slope into equation y = mx + c
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + c

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + c
At point (0, 4)
4 = 2(0) + c
c = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y-intercept into the equation y = 2x + c
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 2x + 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is 3x+4y=16 for x

sergiy2304 [10]

3x + 4y = 16 Write original equation
3x + 4y - 4y = -4y + 16 Subtract 4y from each side
3x = -4y +16 Simplify
3x/3 = -4y/3 + 16/3 Divide each side by three
x = -4y/3 +16/3 Simplify

I hope this helps!
