Step-by-step explanation:
y = x - 2
x + y = 12
Substitute the first expression for y into the second equation.
x + (x - 2) = 12
2x - 2 = 12
2x = 14
x = 7
Now plug into either equation to find y.
y = 7 - 2
y = 5
So the solution is (7, 5).
Answer:
48-20x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we basically have to clear the fractions (get rid of the denominators)
Multiply everything by the LCM of 6 and 8 (24)
24(2)-24(5/6x)=24(7/8)
48-20x=21
Hope this helps!
Perpendicular slope: opposite and reciprocal
-4 opposite and reciprocal = 1/4
Y = 1/4x + b
Plug in point
-3 = 1/4(8) + b
-3 = 2 + b, b = -5
Solution: y = 1/4x - 5
