Let the number of coats Michael has = x

As given, Minnie gathers 3 times as many coats as Michael

So, Minnie has = 3x

Total number of coats = 52

Equation becomes,

x+3x=52

4x=52

x=13

Hence, Michael contributed 13 coats.

Solve for x in 4x-4/x+4=10
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

-22/3 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x-4) /(x+4) = 10

Multiply each side by (x+4)

(4x-4) /(x+4) * (x+4) = 10 * (x+4)

(4x-4) = 10 * (x+4)

Distribute

4x-4 = 10x+40

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4-4x = 10-4x+40

-4 = 6x+40

subtract 40 from each side

-4 -40 = 6x+40-40

-44 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

-44/6 = -6x/6

-22/3 =x

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given points and is (a) parallel to the given lin
murzikaleks [220]
Remark
This is costing you an awful lot of points, but it is a little hard to read. If I'm not interpreting it correctly, leave some sort of note below my answer.

Question One
In the first question you want a line that is parallel to x = 4 and goes through the point (-7,3). If I'm reading this correctly then the line you want is x = -7. You only need the x value of the given point. I'll put a graph there to show you what it looks like on a grid.  The graph is the left one for this question.

Question Two
Here I think you want the line going through (5,-1) and perpendicular to y = 4x - 7. I will make a graph for that one as well.

Begin with the slope
Two lines are perpendicular to each other if their slopes multiply to - 1
Given slope (m1) = 4
perpendicular slope = m2

Formula
m1 * m2 = - 1
4 * m2 = -1      Divide by 4
m2 = -1/4

So far what you have is
y = (-1/4)x + b

Now use the given point to solve for b
x = 5
y = - 1
b = ??

-1 = (-1/4)*5 + b
-1 = -5/4 + b  Add 5/4 to both sides
-1 + 5/4 + b   Make -1 into -4/4
b = -4/4 + 5/4
b = (-4 + 5)/4
b = 1/4

So the line that you want is
y = (-1/4) x + 1/4

Answers
One:  x = - 7
Two: y = (-1/4)x + 1/4

Note
The right graph is of y = 4x - 7 and y = (-1/4)x + 1/4

At a sale, dresses were sold for $90 each. This price was 75% of a
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A dress originally costs $120

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original cost of the dress, we will follow the steps below;

let x represent the original cost of the dress

75% of x  = $90

\frac{75}{100}  ×    x   = $90

\frac{75X}{100}  =   $90

MULTIPLY both-side of the equation by 100

\frac{75X}{100} × 100 =   $90×100

At the right-hand side of the equation, 100 will cancel out 100, leaving us with just 75x

75x = $9000

DIVIDE both-side of the equation by 75

75x/75 = $9000/75

At the left-hand side of the equation 75 will cancel-out 75 leaving us with just x

x=  $9000/75

x = $120

A dress originally costs $120

What is the answer to the question. Solve for x
slega [8]

Answer:

Answer:

x=\frac{75}2

Step-by-step explanation:

Give letters, as in the attached image.

The triangles ABE and CDE are similars (AAA). In particular AE:CE=BE:DE \rightarrow 46:30=(x+20):x \rightarrow 46x=30(x+20) \rightarrow 23x=15x+300 \rightarrow 8x=300\rightarrow  x=\frac{75}2
