Answer:

x =  - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x - 5) =  - 75 \\ distribute \: 5 \: to \: 2x \: and \:  - 5 \\ 10x - 25 =  - 75  \\ remove \: the \: constants \\ 10x  \div 10 \\  - 50  \div 10 \\ x =  - 5

Joseph and Wendy were catching tadpoles. At first Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught. Joseph was upset and re
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Two lines L1 and L2 pass through the point of intersection of 2y=x-13 and 3y+x+12=0. L1 passes through P(-4,-7) and L2 is perpen
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. <u>point of intersection of 2y=x-13 and 3y+x+12=0</u>

x = 2y + 13   ==> 3y + (2y+13) + 12 = 0   ==>  5y + 25 = 0  ==> y = -5

x = 2*(-5) +13 = 3

point of intersection: (3 , -5)        L1: pass (3 , -5) and (-4 , -7)

slope of L1 = (-7 - -5)/(-4-3) = -2 / -7 = 2/7

L2 pass (3 , -5) perpendicular to 2x-5y=4

2x-5y=4  ==> y = 2/5 x - 4  slope = 2/5  

so slope of L2 = -5/2

angle Θ between two slopes: tan Θ = | (m2-m1) / (1 + m1*m2)|

==> = | (-5/2 - 2/7) / (1 + -5/2*2/7) | = |(-39/14) / (4/14) | = |- 39/4| = 39/4 = 9.75

Θ = 84°
