Is x = 8 a solution to the equation 16 - x/4 = 12?

Mathematics

1 answer:

prohojiy [21]3 years ago

4 0

x/8+12 = 16 // - 16

x/8-16+12 = 0

1/8*x-4 = 0 // + 4

1/8*x = 4 // : 1/8

x = 4/1/8

x = 32

x = 32

Lines 3x-2y+7=0 and 6x+ay-18=0 is perpendicular. What is the value of a?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf a = 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0$

$\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0$

Step 1 : Convert the equations in slope intercept form of the line .

$\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}$

and ,

$\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}$

Step 2: Find the slope of the lines :-

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}$

And the slope of the second line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_2 =\dfrac{-6}{a}$

Step 3: Multiply the slopes :-

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-6}{a}= -1$

Multiply ,

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{-9}{a}= -1$

Multiply both sides by a ,

$\sf\longrightarrow (-1)a = -9$

Divide both sides by -1 ,

$\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\blue{\sf a = 9 }}$

Hence the value of a is 9 .

zmey [24]

Answer:

-23, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

JK = 14 and K = -9

J could be on the left or the right of -9

Add 14 to -9

14+-9 = 5

So J could be at 5

Subtract 14 from -9

-14-9 = -23
