Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, we want to get x by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since x is being multiplied by 1.2, to get x by itself, we need to divide by 1.2 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 1.2 on the left side, we must also divide by 1.2 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 1.2's cancel out so we are simply left with x. On the right side, we have 6 ÷ 1.2 which is 5 so we have x = 5.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 5 back into the original equation.

So we have 1.2 (5) = 6 which is a true statement so our answer is correct.

Remember to show all your work when solving equations.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-3, 4) and is parallel

kompoz [17]

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, that means their slopes are the same.

Rewrite 2x - 3y = 15 to y = 2/3x - 5

The slope is 2/3, so the answer should have a slope of 2/3 as well.

The equation is now y = 2/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-3,4)

y = 2/3x + b

4 = 2/3(-3) + b

4 = -2 + b

6 = b

So the equation is y = 2/3x + 6

Fantom [35]

Answer:

-3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, you multiply -3 times x and you get -3x, then you multiply -3 times -6 and since you are multiplying two negative numbers the result becomes positive so you get +6. Result = -3x+6

A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour. The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{64}$ proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

$\frac{1}{64}$ × $\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1$

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

$\frac{1}{8}$ × $\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8$
