<em>9 - 4(2p - 1) =45</em>
<em>5(2p - 1) = 45</em>
<em>10p - 5 = 45</em>
<em>10p = 45 + 5</em>
<em>10p = 50</em>
<em>p = 50/10</em>
<em>p =5 (ans)</em>
To solve this problem, we need to use our knowledge that parallel lines have the same slope. If we have a line that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 7, our line must also have a slope of 2 (we know this line has a slope of 2 because it is in slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept).
Now, we can use our known slope and our given point to substitute into point-slope form, as shown below:
y = m (x - h) + k
y = 2 (x - 5) - 1
Next, we can simplify our equation by using the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses.
y = 2x - 10 - 1
Finally, we can complete our equation by computing the subtraction.
y = 2x - 11
We can conclude that this is the correct answer because if you plug in the point (5, -1) you get a true statement and it has a slope of 2.
Therefore, the answer is y = 2x - 11.
Hope this helps!
Answerpizza:
Step-by-step explanation:
There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed
How many of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed were between 700 and 799 pounds?
Given the fraction of total cattle for 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5
Let x be the number of cattle between 700 - 799 pounds
We make a proportion using the fraction

Cross multiply it and solve for x
340000* 2 = 5x
680000 = 5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
So x= 136,000
There were 136,000 cattle between 700 and 799 pounds
