Answer:
The equation of the line is 6y = 7x + 23
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin by calculating the slope of the line;
mathematically, the slope is given by;
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
That would be;
m= (5-(-2))/(1-(-5))
m = 7/6
So the equation becomes;
y = 7/6x + b
We below need to get the value of the y-intercept b
We get this by making a substitution for any of the two points
Let’s say we make the substitution for (-5,-2) in which case y = -2 and x = -5
Thus, we have
-2 = 7/6(-5) + b
-2 = -35/6 + b
b = -2 + 35/6
b = (-12+ 35)/6 = 23/6
So we have;
y = 7/6x + 23/6
let’s multiply through by 6
6y = 7x + 23
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0
Factorize using splitting the middle term method.
X^2 +16x-5x-80=0
x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0
(x-5)(x+16)=0
either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0
x=5 or x=-16
length and width measure cannot be negative.
Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
That is not correct. I just took the test and the answer is 2/3
