I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom. It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it. Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.
32 = 2^5 <==== my answer is too short..lol
Answer:
y = -2x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form of equation is of form
y = mx+c
where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.
Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.
_____________________________
Given equation
y = -2x +4
comparing it with y = mx+ c
m = -2 , c = 4
_____________________________
when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.
Let the equation of new line in slope intercept form be y = mx + c
Thus slope of of new required line is -2
Thus m for new line is -2.
now, equation of required line : y = -2x+c
Given that this line passes through (-4, -2). This point shall should satisfy equation y = -2x+c.
Substituting the value of (-4, -2) we have
-2 = -2(-4)+c
=> -2 = 8 +c
=> -2 -8 = c
=> c = -10.
Thus , equation of required line is y = -2x - 10.
Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides of a rhombus are equal.
⇒ QT = TS
⇒ x² - 4x - 10 = 6x + 14
⇒ x² - 10x - 24 = 0
⇒ x² + 2x - 12x - 24 = 0
⇒ x (x + 2) - 12 (x + 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 2)(x - 12) = 0
⇒ x = -2 or x = 12
Substitute both values and see which gives a positive value for QT :
<u>When x = -2</u> :
- QT = (-2)² - 4(-2) - 10
- QT = 4 + 8 - 10
- QT = 2
<u>When x = 12</u> :
- QT = (12)² - 4(12) - 10
- QT = 144 - 48 - 10
- QT = 86
The 2 possible answers are :
- x = -2, QT = 2
- x = 12, QT = 86
