Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = -4× and contains the point (8,-3)

(Note: this is hard to explain without graphing. You might want to graph both of these lines just to make sure I did this correctly. :))

Y = -4(x) is the y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y intercept.

So the slope of line A is -4 / 1 and the y intercept is 0. (If it's 0 there is no point in writing it down, so it was left out of the equation.)

The slope of line B with be equal to the slope of line A, so we can fill that in our equation. y = -4 x + ??

We know that y increases as x decreases.

Now we just need to scale 8, -3 down until x = 0.
(8 - 4, -3 + 1) = (4, -2)

(4 - 4, -2 + 1) = (0, -1)

y = -4x -1 is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 inches. The equation 2x + 2(x +

alexandr1967 [171]

2x + 2(x + 2) = 24
2x + 2x + 4 = 24
4x = 24 - 4
4x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5

The value of x that holds true for the equation is : x = 5.
So the width of the rectangle is 5 inches and the length is (x + 2 = 5 + 2) = 7 inches

Answer:

mean of this demand distribution = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean of this demand distribution;

Mean = Expected vale = E[x]

for discrete provability function,

we say E[x] = ∑(x.p(x))

x p(x) x.p(x)

10 0.1 1

30 0.4 12

60 0.4 24

90 0.7 63

∴ ∑(x.p(x)) = ( 1 + 12 + 24 + 63 )

∑(x.p(x)) = 100

What weight of dry substance is in 150g of a 3% substance solution? What weight of an 8% solution can we have with the same weig

Pavlova-9 [17]

The answers are: 4.5 g and 56.25 g respectively.

Since the first type of measurement in this question is weight or mass, I'll suppose that the percentage concentration is % mass/mass. For that type of concentration measurement, just multiply the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the wanted material.
So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g

For the 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the first solution to get the wanted amount of new solution:
3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g
