Answer:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 ) ; n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the words to create an equation. The left hand side of the equation will be the difference of a number and 6 and the right hand side of the equation will be 5 times the sum of the number and 2. Hence, we can build the equation:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

If we wanted, we can solve the equation for the number, n.

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

n - 6 = 5 * n + 5 * 2

n - 6 = 5n + 10

-16 = 4n

-4 = n

Thus, we have found the missing number to be negative four.

Cheers.

Given that OA = 2x + 9y, OB = 4x + 8y and CD = 4x - 2y, explain the geometrical relationships between the straight lines AB and

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The geometrical relationships between the straight lines AB and CD is that they have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$OA = 2x + 9y$

$OB = 4x + 8y$

$CD = 4x - 2y$

Required

The relationship between AB, CD

Since AB is a straight line and O is the origin, then:

$AB = (c - a)x + (d - b)y$

Where:

$OA = ax + by$ ====> $OA = 2x + 9y$

$OB = cx + dy$ ====> $OB = 4x + 8y$

This implies that:

$a =2$ $b = 9$ $c = 4$ $d = 8$

So:

$AB = (c - a)x + (d - b)y$

$AB = (4 - 2)x + (8 - 9)y$

$AB = 2x -y$

So, we have:

$AB = 2x -y$

$CD = 4x - 2y$

Calculate the slope (m) of $AB\ and\ CD$

$m = \frac{Coefficient\ of\ y}{Coefficient\ of\ y}$

For AB

$m_1 = \frac{-1}{2}$

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{2}$

For CD

$m_2 = \frac{-2}{4}$

$m_2 = \frac{-1}{2}$

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

By comparison:

$m_1 = m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

This implies that both lines have the same slope

What is y=1/2x+4 in standard form?

zhuklara [117]

<h3>Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction

y = (1/2)x+4

2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]

2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4

2y = x + 8

Then move the x term over to the left side

2y = x+8

2y-x = 8

-x+2y = 8

Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1

-x+2y = 8

-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8

x-2y = -8

This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8

The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
