X=amount of money Ofeila hasx-$12=(1/5)xLet's eliminate the fractions by multiplying both sides by 5...5(x-$12)=(5)(1/5)x5x-$60=xLet's subtract 5x from both sides...-5x+5x-$60=x-5x-$60=-4xLet's divide both sides by -4...(-$60)/(-4)=(-4x)/(-4)$15=x -< AnswerLet's check our work...x-$12=(1/5)x$15-$12=(1/5)($15)$3=$3

Which equation represents the line that passes through points B and C on the graph?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = B(- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = C(- 2, - 2)

m = \frac{-2-2}{-2+4} = \frac{-4}{2} = - 2

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 2, - 2), then

- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6

y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line through B and C

A rectangle has an area of 221 square units. The width of the rectangle is 13 units. The length of the rectangle is 3x + 2. What
vodka [1.7K]
The length is 17 and x=5


13 times 3x+2 = 221 so solve by dividing 221 by 13= 17.
Now we know that 3x+2= 17 so 3x= 15
x=5
