Answer:

-6x + 15 = - 69 which x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot solve this equation. There is no equal sign anywhere. Either you mean

-6x = 15 in which case the answer is

-6x/-6 = 15/-6

x = - 2 1/2 or x= - 2.5

or you mean that you use the distributive property

- 3(2x + 5)

You may have left something out of this.

-6x + 15 = -  69

You can do it now that you have the complete equation. But you need the entire equation before you can answer the question.

Subtract - 15 from both sides.

-6x + 15 - 15 = -69 - 15

-6x = - 84

Divide by - 6

-6x/-6 = - 84/-6

x = 14

But what you want is

-6x + 15

-6*14 + 15

-84 + 15

-69

-6x + 15 = - 69

when x = 14 which is usually what you are asked.

svetlana [45]
350*15 is 5250. That is the total words needed to reach her assignment paper goal. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour we would need to figure out how many words she can type per hour. 60*70 is 4200. Then we divide 5250 by 4200. We get 1.25. Soooo our final answer would be 1 hour and 15 minutes need to be set aside to type her assignment. I really hope this is correct it makes sense to me. If not i am truly sorry.

Answer:

The coordinates of B are: (a, b)=(-2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (a, b) be the coordinates of the point 'B'.

As

The midpoint of AB is M(-4, 0)

The coordinates of A are (-6, 6)

The midpoint (x,y) of line joining points (x₁, x₂) and (y₁, y₂)

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\:y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

-4 = (-6+a)/2  and  0 = (6+b)/2

-8=-6+a          

-8+6=a                  

a=-2

0=(6+b)/2

0=6+b

b=-6

Therefore, the coordinates of B are: (a, b)=(-2, -6)

A line is given by the equation 3x + 2y = 4. What is the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the p
Tanya [424]

Answer: B. 3x+ 2y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents the slope of the line.

c represents the y intercept

The equation of the given line is

3x + 2y = 4

2y = -3x + 4

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

y = - 3x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 3/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (6, - 3) is - 3/2

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 3/2, x = 6 and y = -3 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 3 = - 3/2 × 6 + c

- 3 = - 9 + c

c = - 3 + 9

c = 6

The equation becomes

y = -3x/2 + 6

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

2y = - 3x + 12

3x + 2y = 12
