Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set them equal to each other since they're both equal to y
3x-5=.5x +5
add 5 to both sides
3x=.5x+10
subtract .5x from both sides
2.5x=10
divide both sides by 2.5
x= 4
The best thing is to have a ruler with the appropriate units to construct these triangles;)
Remark
The line you want is parallel to y = - 2x + 3
That means it has the same slope as the given line. The given line has a slope of -2
y = -2x + b is what you have so far. Now you have to use the point to get b
y = - 100
x = - 100
Solve for b
-100 = -2(-100) + b
-100 = 200 + b Notice the sign change. Two minus's make a plus. Subtract 200 from both sides.
- 100 - 200 = b
- 300 = b
Answer
y = - 2x - 100
A) 15/4 = 4/4+4/4+4/4+3/4= 3 3/4
B)9/2= 2/2+2/2+2/2+2/2+1/2= 4 1/2
c = 26/12 = 12/12 + 12/12 + 2/12 = 2 2/12
d) 20/6 = 6/6 + 6/6 + 6/6 + 2/6 = 3 2/6
4/15 because you make it into a fraction: 8/30, you find the GCF which is 2, so then you divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 and get 4/15 at it's simplest term
