Answer:
The answer is X = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - 7 = 5
Multiply both sides if the equation by 3 : 2x - 21 = 15
Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign : 2x = 15 + 21
Calculate 2x = 15 + 21
2x = 36
Divide both sides of the eqaution by 2 : 2x = 36
x = 18
Answer X = 18

Slope Formula:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify points</em>
Point (0, 2)
Point (3, -3)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:

- Simplify:

First, let's find the slope of the line from the points given.
m = (4 - - 2) / (3 - 1)
m = 6 / 2
m = 3
Secondly, we know that a line perpendicular to the original must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. For the given points, the opposite reciprocal slope would be -1/3.
Now, we can put all of the equations below into slope intercept form and find the ones that have a slope of -1/3.
Equation 1: Correct
y = -1/3x - 5
Equation 2: Incorrect
y = 3x - 3
Equation 3: Incorrect
y - 2 = 3(x + 1)
y - 2 = 3x + 1
y = 3x + 2
Equation 4: Correct
x + 3y = 9
3y = -x + 9
y = -1/3x + 3
Equation 5: Incorrect
3x + y = -5
y = -3x - 5
Hope this helps!! :)
Her work is incorrect because she accidentally changed -14 to -7 in the second step.
Working it out from the top we get
(x-14)+11=x-(x-4)
x-14+11=x-x+4
x-3=0+4
Final answer:
x=7
Hope I helped :)
