Answer: y=x
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal. So you do -(-1/1) which equals 1. So now we have y=x+b. Plug (3,3) into this and you get 3=3+b. So b=0 and the equation is y=x
11 more than five of a certain number would be written as 5x+11 and it is (means equal to) twenty more than two times that number, which would be 2x+20. So the equation would be
5x+11=2x+20
-2x -2x (get the x's on one side)
3x+11=20
-11 -11 (get the numbers on one side)
3x=9
/3 /3 (divide by 3, so you can get the x by itself)
X=3 (the number is 3)
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the unknown time x.
The mean is the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers.
There are 5 numbers.
(8 + 10 + 38 + x + 20)/5 = 18.2
(x + 76)/5 = 18.2
x + 76 = 91
x = 15
