Hey there!☺

Answer:\boxed{x=\frac{-13}{2}}

Explanation:

-(2x+5)+14=22 Equation

−(2x+5)+14=22  Simplify both sides

−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute

(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms

-2x + 9 = 22

-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides

-2x = 13

-2x/-2 = 13/-2

-13/2 Add the negative to 13

x = -13/2

Hope this helps!

To steam rice, Paul uses m cups of water for every p
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m cups of water = p cups of rice

Required

Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice

<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>

<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>

<em />

This is calculated using the following expression;

m = k * p

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{m}{p}

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;

k becomes:

k = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Equate both expressions of k; to give

\frac{m}{p} = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Multiply both sides by p + 2

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =(p + 2) *  \frac{x}{p + 2}

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =x

x = (p + 2) * \frac{m}{p}

x =  \frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}<em></em>

What's the equation of the line perpendicular to y=-3/2x+4 through the point ( 2,-3)
Korvikt [17]
Because it's perpendicular, you know that they must have the same slope, -3/2. So, just factor that and the point into the slope-point form to get

y = -3/2x
