Answer:

5b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Abdul bought b books and Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul, then 5b represents the number of books Debra bought. Since we know that Debra bought 20 books, we can write an equation to represent that: 5b = 20.

(Abdul bought 4 books in that case)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point<br> (-2,-8) and has a slope of 3?
nignag [31]

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope equation since we are given a point that the line passes through and its slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(-2, -8), m = 3

Substitute these values into the equation.

  • y - (-8) = 3(x - (-2))
  • y + 8 = 3(x + 2)
  • y + 8 = 3x + 6
  • y = 3x - 2

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -8) and has a slope of 3 is y = 3x - 2.

Find the values of x and y. <br> x + 7i = y − yi
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: X = y - yi - 7i

               Y = (x + 7i)/(1 - i)

Step-by-step explanation: for the case of (X) you only need to pass the 7i to the other side with the subtraction sign (-7i), then we get this equation:

x + 7i = y − yi

X = y - yi - 7i

in the case of the (Y), first we select the common multiple.

y - yi = y(1 - i)

if we replace it in the original expression, we get the following equation:

x + 7i = y(1 - i)

after that you can pass the value (1 - i) to the other side dividing,

Y = (x + 7i)/(1 - i)

Alja [10]
Since C only has two and although it may look like B has three terms, when the letters are joined together like that they are basically just become one big term, so your answer would be A.
