X=1/3
Distribute 8 through the parentheses
8-40x+5=-2+5x
Add the numbers
13-40x+5=-2+5x
Answer: x=1/3
Answer:
y = (2 x)/3 + 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for y:
8 x - 12 y = -3
Subtract 8 x from both sides:
-12 y = -8 x - 3
Divide both sides by -12:
Answer: y = (2 x)/3 + 1/4
Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Here we are given two coordinates through which our lines passes through. Now we are going to use the two point form to find the equation of the line.
The two point form is given as

Here we are given two coordinates . Thus replacing them in the formula and simplifying it will give us the equation of the line.




adding x and 6 on both sides we get

Hence this is our equation of the line passing through (5,6) & (4,7)
B - 3A = 2
3B - 6A = 12
(2)B - (6)A =4
3B - 6A = 12
Subtract
-B = -8
B = 8
Plugin 8 for B
8 - 3A = 2
8 = 3A + 2
6 = 3A
2 = A
(Double checking)
3(8) - 6A = 12
-6A = 12-24 = -12
- 6A = -12
Divide by -6
A= 2
It works
A = 2. B = 8. Hope this helps
