Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+17=14x-5 so...

22=11x (subtract 3x and add 5 to both sides)

2=x (divide both sides by 11)

What is the line slope of (10,5) and (1,9)

sveta [45]

Use the slope formula
y2-y1
m=---------
x2-x1
(rise-->y over run-->x)
so it would be
9-5
m=-------
1-10
and that would simplify to
4
----
-9
and that would be your slope.

Hope that helped :-)

0.5s +1=7 + 4.5s<br> S =

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$s = -\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $s$ :

$0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s$

-Combine both $0.5s$ and $4.5s$ by subtracting $0.5s$ by $4.5s$ :

$0.5s + 1 - 4.5s = 7 + 4.5s - 4.5s$

$-4s + 1 = 7$

-Subtract $1$ to both sides:

$-4s + 1 - 1 = 7 - 1$

$-4s = 6$

-Divide both sides by $-4$ :

$\frac{-4s}{-4} = \frac{6}{-4}$

$s = -\frac{3}{2}$

So, the value of $s$ is $-\frac{3}{2}$ .

Determine if (-2,6) and (4,12) are solutions to the system of equations:

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Both $(-2,6)$ and $(4,12)$ are solutions to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine whether the two given points represent solutions to our system of equations, we must "plug" thos points into both equations and check that the equality remains valid.

Step 1: Plug $(-2,6)$ into $y=x+8$
