All you have to remember is this. Reverse the operation. For example on this problem there is a -2 right? So reverse the operation and (REMEMBER:Always do what you did on one side to the other side) then you would have +2 on both sides. You do the same for variables and all of the numbers and result with 8x=2, so divide by 8 and get x=1/4

OK this is another question which I need help on please please help if you can. CAUSED ME MUCH DISTRESS

Answer:

15 = 2x - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two points P1(3,-3) and P2(9,1).

First, calculate the slope between those points:

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - (-3)}{9 - 3} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

Now simply move 3 steps from (3,-3) towards the y-axis to get the intersection with the y-axis (each step reduces x by 1 and applies the slope to the y-value):

(3,-3)

---> (2, -3 - (2/3)) = (2,-3 2/3)

---> (1, (-3 2/3) - 2/3) = (1, -4 1/3)

---> (0, (-4 1/3) - 2/3) = (0,-5)

This tells us, that our line intersects the y-axis at (0,-5).

The general form of a line is f(x) = <SLOPE> * x + <Y-VALUEATXEQUALSZERO>.

In our case: f(x) = y = (2/3)x -5.

To get it into the correct form, we simply subtract y from both sides and get:

0 = (2/3)x - y - 5

To get only integers just multiply everything with 3 and add 15 and get:

15 = 2x - 3y, which fulfils the form asked for in the problem.

you have a large container of olive oil. You have used 22 1/2 quarts of oil. Twenty- five percent of the oil remain. How many qu
Alex Ar [27]
Answer:

7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.

Explanation:

Let

q = quarts of olive oil remain

<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.

22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used

<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>

Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.

<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>

<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>

<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>

The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an-1 can also be written as
wariber [46]
The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:

The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be written as:

1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1) 
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)

The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.

If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and

a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2

We can now look at the sequence.

a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...

A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.

a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27

The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:

a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3

This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
