-2x + (1/2)y = 18

(1/2)y = 2x + 18

y/2 = 2x + 18

y = 2*(2x + 18)

y = 2*2x + 2*18

y = 4x + 36

The x intercept is the value of x, when the y value is 0.

0 = 4x + 36

0 - 4x = 36

-4x = 36

x = 36/-4

x = -9

The x intercept is  -9

I hope this helps.

Answer:

The x-intercept of the line with the equation is -9.              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation -2x+\frac{1}{2}y=18

To find : What is the x-intercept of the line with the equation ?

Solution :

To find x-intercept we put y=0.

Equation -2x+\frac{1}{2}y=18 substitute y=0,

-2x+\frac{1}{2}(0)=18

-2x=18

x=\frac{18}{-2}

x=-9

Therefore, The x-intercept of the line with the equation is -9.

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
lesya692 [45]

When you use the Distributive Property, we will find...
5x - 4 = -6x - 4
Eliminate 4 by adding it to both sides.
5x = -6x
Add 6x to both sides and we get 11x = 0.
11x = 0
Divide both sides by 11.

x=0

The only mistake Megan made was when adding 5x with Megan accidentally subtracting 5x from the other side.

For this problem:
3(2x − 4) = 5x − 1
Distribute
6x - 12 = 5x - 1
Add 1 to both sides
6x - 11 = 5x
Subtract 6x from both sides
-11 = -x
Divide both sides by -1.
x = 11.

What is the slope of each side of the triangle? the sides are A(-2,4) B(-1,1) C(2,3)
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The slopes of three sides of triangle are as follows:

AB = -3

BC = 2/3

AC = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is denoted by m and is calculated using the formula

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The given vertices are:

A(-2,4) B(-1,1) C(2,3)

The sides will be:

AB, BC, AC

Let m1 be the slope of AB

Let m2 be the slope of BC

Let m3 be the slope of AC

Now

Slope\ of\ AB = m_1 = \frac{1-4}{-1+2} = \frac{-3}{1} = -3\\Slope\ of\ BC = m_2 = \frac{3-1}{2+1} = \frac{2}{3}\\Slope\ of\ AC = m_2 = \frac{3-4}{2+2} = \frac{-1}{4} = -\frac{1}{4}

Hence,

The slopes of three sides of triangle are as follows:

AB = -3

BC = 2/3

AC = -1/4

Will mark the BRANLIEST.
True [87]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = number of rides

total amount of money spent has to be less than  or equal to 50

costs are admission and food and rides

rides cost 1.50 each

50≥ admission + food + rides

50 ≥ 15 +10 + 1.50r

Combine like terms

50 ≥25 + 1.50 r

Subtract 25 from each side

50-25 ≥25-25 + 1.50 r

25  ≥ 1.50 r

Divide by 1.5 on each side

25/1.5 ≥ 1.5r/1.5

50/3  ≥ r

Changing this to a mixed number

16 2/3  ≥r

We can only take a whole number of rides

r = 16

Beverly has not spent all of her 50 dollars since there was a fraction for the rides

cost =  15 +10 + 1.50r

        15+10 + 1.5*16

            25+24

           49

She has 1 dollar left
