You can start by distributing the 5 to everything in the parenthesis.
5x-50=30-15x
Then get rid of your x values from one side, I chose to subtract 5x
-50 = 30 - 20x
Then subtract 30
-80=-20x
/-20
4=x
You can check by plugging your x into the equation to make sure it's right!
<u>We are given:</u>
The line passes through the points (9,4) and (9,-5)
<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = (change in y) / (change in x)
<u>Finding the slope:</u>
Change in x = final x - initial x
Change in x = 9 - 9 = 0
Slope of line = (change in y) / 0
because division by 0 is undefined:
Slope of the line is <em>Undefined</em>
We could've solved for the change in y but there's no reason to because no matter what's in the numerator, as long as the denominator is 0, the value is undefined
Answer:
x=-4, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the first equation, y = -4x - 9, so we can substitute y in the second equation for -4x - 9.
y = 3x + 19
-4x - 9 = 3x + 19
Add 9 to both sides
-4x = 3x + 28
Subtract 3x
-7x = 28
Divide by -7
x = -4
Plugging this into the equation, we have:
y = -4x - 9
y = -4(-4) - 9
y = 16 - 9
y = 7
Answer:
9. x=102
10. x=56
11. x=104
12. x=138
Step-by-step explanation:
9. In this problem, they are alternate exterior angles, meaning they are the same value. x=102
10. x is a corresponding angle, meaning they are the same. x=56
11. There are consecutive interior angles. The sum of these two angles is 180. to find x, subtract 76 from 180. 180-76 = 104 x = 104
12. These two angles are verticle angles, meaning they are equivalent. x = 138
Let x = the smaller numberLet 3x + 15 = the larger numberx + 3x + 15 = 634x = 48x = 123(12) + 15 = 51
