Answer:

s=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

2*(4*s-16)-5*s-(-5)=0

Pull out like factors :

4s - 16 = 4 • (s - 4)

Pull out like factors :

3s - 27 = 3 • (s - 9)

3 • (s - 9) = 0

Solve : s-9 = 0

Add 9 to both sides of the equation :

s = 9

Idk if this is confusing but I know the answer.

Answer:

P = 2(2y+3)

P = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2 (L+W) or P = L + L + W + W

P = 2 (2y+3)

P = 4y+6

Plug in 6 for y.

P = 24+6

P = 30

Russell wants to purchase a computer that costs $1575. With a larger monitor, the cost of the computer will go up 8%. How much w

lesya [120]

First, we need to find 8% of 1,575. To do so we have to divide 8 by 100, then multiply the quotient by 1,575.

8% ⇒ 0.08

1,575 × 0.08 = 126

Now add the 8% increase to the original cost.

1,575 + 126 = 1,701

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Option 1: </u><u>$1,701</u><u>.</u>

I hope this helps :)

What is the equation in slope intercept form of the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment?

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

y = -4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point-slope form.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

is the equation of the line containing point (x1, y1) and having slope, m.

The given point of the perpendicular bisector is (-1, -2), so in this case, x1 = -1, and y1 = -2.

We need the slope of the perpendicular bisector. First we find the slope of the segment. We start at point (-5, -3). We go up 1 unit and 4 units to the right, and we are at another point on the segment. Since slope = rise/run, the slope of the segment is 1/4. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of 1/4, so for the perpendicular bisector, m = -4.

Now we use the equation above and our values.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$y - (-2) = -4(x - (-1))$

$y + 2 = -4(x + 1)$

$y + 2 = -4x - 4$

$y = -4x - 6$
