Here you go. Do you think that you could help me with my question

5a – 10b = 45 
5a – 10(3) = 45 
5a – 30 = 45 
+30 +30 
5a = 75/5 
<span>a = 15</span>

So Since we know what b equals. We can just plug it into the equation 
b = 3 
5a -10(3) = 45 

First step is to solve -10(3)  that means we multiply these two numbers. 
-10 x 3 = -30 
Now plug that in for what it was in the equation. 

5a - 30 = 45 

Now the next step is to add 30 to both sides to cancel out -30

5a - 30 = 45 
     +30 = +30
*************** Now the 30's on the left side disappear and we solve on the right side. 
45 + 30 = 75 

Now set up your equation once again. 

5a = 75 

Now we divide both sides by 5 to isolate (or get a to be alone) 
5a = 75 
÷5 = ÷5 
********* the 5's on the left side disappear and we solve on the right side. 

75 ÷ 5 = 15 

So here's what we have left. 
a = 15 

Good Luck! :)

raketka [301]

Answer:

1. {(2, 7), (1, 3), (0, -5), (-1, -2)}

2. {(1, -1), (-1, 0), (-3, -5), (-9, 2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse means finding the opposite so basically all you have to do is write the opposite of lets say -3 which is +3.

Find the value of x so that the line passing through (10, 5) and (x, 9) has a slope of -2. -2 8 -8 2
AVprozaik [17]
The slope formula is the difference of the y values over the difference in the x values.  We have a slope, so we will fill in the formula with what we have and then solve for x: -2= \frac{9-5}{x-10}.  Multiply both sides by x-10 to get rid of the fraction.  -2(x-10) = 4.  Distribute to get -2x+20=4 and -2x = -16.  That gives us an x value of 8.

Discuss and explain why sampling permits us to make inferences about populations.
GREYUIT [131]

The end result of sampling is to get a representative sample, or a small collection of units or cases from a much larger collection or population. In theory, the researcher can study the smaller group and produce accurate generalizations about the larger group. Researchers focus on the specific techniques that will yield highly representative samples much so in similarities as a population. Quantitative researchers tend to use a type of sampling based on theories of probability from mathematics, called probability sampling.Sampling is the group of individuals who participate in your study. These are the individuals who will participate in a qualitative study. People who could have been participants in your study but did not actually participate are not considered part of your sample.
