So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x

ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x

so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

6 tails added


total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40



6 tails added
40 total coins

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (5,3)
Pani-rosa [81]

perpendicular lines have a slope that is a negative reciprocal


A) 4x-5y=5

subtract 4x

solve for y

-5y = -4x+5

divide by -5

y = 4/5 x+5   slope is 4/5  perpendicular slope is -5/4

y -y1 =m(x-x1)  point slope form of a line

y-3 = -5/4 (x-5)

B)  5x+4y = 37

subtract 5x

4y =-5x +37

divide by 4

y =-5/4 x +37/4  slope is -5/4 perpendicular slope is 4/5

y -y1 =m(x-x1)  point slope form of a line

y-3 = 4/5 (x-5)

C)4x+5y=5

subtract 4x

5y = -4x +5

divide by 5

y = -4/5 x +1

y =-4/5 x +1  slope is -4/5 perpendicular slope is 5/4

y -y1 =m(x-x1)  point slope form of a line

y-3 = 5/4 (x-5)

D)5x-4y=8

subtract 5x

-4y = -5x+8

divide by -4

y = 5/4 x-2

y =5/4 x +-2 slope is 5/4 perpendicular slope is -4/5

y -y1 =m(x-x1)  point slope form of a line

y-3 = -4/5 (x-5)
