The expression is a bit invalid. You can't add variables by variables.
1/2x+20=1/3x+30
Subtract 20 on both sides
1/2x=1/3x+10
Subtract 1/3x on both sides
1/6x=10
Multiply by 6 on both sides
X=60

Answer:
y = -1/4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you are finding the perpendicular slope, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the original line, which would be -1/4. You then use point slope form to find the y-intercept with the slope and given point:
y - 5 = -1/4(x + 8). That equals to y = -1/4x + 3.
So the equation of this line is y = -1/4x + 3.
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations appear to be ...
- 12x +4y = 152
- 32x +12y = 420
These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:
y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
For equations ...
ax +by =c
dx +ey = f
The solutions are ...
x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)
y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression
Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.
