Answer:

Distribute -2 into (4x-1) to get rid of the parenthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should to in solving for 'x' is to get rid of the parentheses by distributing.

$-2(4x-1)-7=5\\\\-8x-2-7=5$

Of course, you would also combine like terms to completely simplify the equation to solve for x.

$-8x-9=5$

Hope this helps.

write an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two points. PLEASE do 4,5 and 6

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

4. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

5. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise some important rules

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, that means if the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is $-\frac{1}{m}$ (reciprocal m and change its sign)
The perpendicular bisector of a line means another line perpendicular to it and intersect it in its mid-point
The formula of the slope of a line is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
The mid point of a segment whose end points are $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$
The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

∵ The line passes through (7 , 2) and (4 , 6)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 7 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 2 and $y_{2}$ = 6

∴ $m=\frac{6-2}{4-7}=\frac{4}{-3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{3}{4}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{7+4}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{11}{2},\frac{8}{2})=(\frac{11}{2},4)$

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{11}{2}$ + b

∴ 4 = $\frac{33}{8}$ + b

- Subtract $\frac{33}{8}$ from both sides

∴ $-\frac{1}{8}$ = b

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

∵ The line passes through (8 , 5) and (4 , 3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 8 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 5 and $y_{2}$ = 3

∴ $m=\frac{3-5}{4-8}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = -2

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{8+4}{2},\frac{5+3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{12}{2},\frac{8}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (6 , 4)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = - 2x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = -2 × 6 + b

∴ 4 = -12 + b

- Add 12 to both sides

∴ 16 = b

∴ y = - 2x + 16

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

∵ The line passes through (6 , 1) and (0 , -3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 6 and $x_{2}$ = 0

∵ $y_{1}$ = 1 and $y_{2}$ = -3

∴ $m=\frac{-3-1}{0-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $-\frac{3}{2}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6+0}{2},\frac{1+-3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6}{2},\frac{-2}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (3 , -1)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ -1 = $-\frac{3}{2}$ × 3 + b

∴ -1 = $-\frac{9}{2}$ + b

- Add $\frac{9}{2}$ to both sides

∴ $\frac{7}{2}$ = b

∴ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

Lisa an experienced shipping clerk, can fill a certain order in 7 hours. bill, a new clerk, needs

OLga [1]

Answer:

3.73 hours

Explanation:

In 1 hour, Lisa does 1/7th of the order while Bill does 1/8th of the order in an hour. To find out how long it will take them to fill the order, we have to:

Step 1:

Add the rate of both Lisa and Bill together

1/7 + 1/8

Step 2:

Since both denominators of the fractions are different, you have to find the least common multiple of 7 and 8

7·8= 56 8·7= 56

which is 56.

Step 3:

Then, you have to multiply the numerator of 1/7 with 8 and the numerator of 1/8 with 7.

1·8= 8 1·7= 7

The fractions would now have equal denominators:

Lisa: 8/56 Bill: 7/56

Step 4:

Now, you can add them together

8/56 + 7/56

which equals to 15/56. Both Lisa and Bill together completes 15/56th of the order in 1 hour.

Step 5:

15/56 is not the final answer as it is the RATE of them working together. To find how long it will take them total to complete the order, you must divide 56 with 15.

56/15

which is 3.73 hours in decimal form (rounded).
