Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

The owner of the Rancho Grande has 3,060 yd of fencing with which to enclose a rectangular piece of grazing land situated along
Pavel [41]

Answer:

1170450 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the necessary perimeter, which would be like this:

2 * a + b = 3060

if we solve for b, we are left with:

b = 3060-2 * a

Now for the area it would be:

A = a * b = a * (3060-2 * a )

A = 3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

To maximize the area, we calculate the derivative with respect to "a":

dA / da = d [3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

]/gives

dA / day = 3060 - 4 * a

If we equal 0:

0 = 3060 - 4 * a

4 * a = 3060

a = 3060/4

a = 765 and d

Therefore b:

b = 3060 - 2 * a = 3060 - 1530 = 1530

A = a * b

A = 765 * 1530

A = 1170450 and d ^ 2

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (8, 4)
Ymorist [56]
First let us find the slope between the two points.

Slope = Change in y / Change in x.

(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =  (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5 

Slope m = -2/5= -0.4

Using  y = mx + c,   using point (3, 6)

y = -0.4x  + c

6 = -0.4*3 + c

6 = -1.2 + c

6 + 1.2 = c

7.2 = c

c = 7.2

Equation = :       y = -0.4x +c

y = -0.4x + 7.2

y = -4/10  + 72/10

10y = -4x + 72

5y = -2x + 36

Equation =:      5y = -2x + 36

Hope this explains it.

HELP ME PLEASE Find the slope of the line and write it as a rate of change.
Vaselesa [24]

Don’t worry, bud, I gotchu.

Answer: 7.647 but rounded to the second decimal place is 7.65

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m= (20000-7000)/(2600-900)

And you know what happens next.
