Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, set up a ratio.

# of towels over time taken:

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{36}{x}$

Cross multiply:

6x = 108

Divide both sides by 6:

6x/6 = 108/6

x = 18 minutes.

To solve this find the common number that can be divided by both and use that number.

In this case, 4 is divisible by both 4 and 12, and thus the final expression would be

4(d + 3e).

Consider the line y=5x -3 Find the equation of the line that is patellar to this line and passes through the point (-8, -3) Cons

Lynna [10]

Answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: $y = 5x+37$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$y=5x-3$

The general form of equation of line in slope-intercept form is written as:

$y = mx+b$

Here m(co-efficient of x) is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the given equation with the general form we get

m = 5

Two parallel lines have same slope so the slope of any line parallel to given line will also be 5.

Let m1 be the slope of required line parallel to y=5x-3

Then m1=5

Putting in general form

$y = m_1x+b$

$y=5x+b$

To find the value of b(y-intercept) the given point has to be put in the equation from which the line passes.

The point is (-8,-3)

$-3 = 5(-8)+b\\-3 = -40+b\\b = -3+40\\b = 37$

Putting the value of b and m1, we get

$y = 5x+37$

Hence,

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: $y = 5x+37$

Find the equation of the line with Slope = 8 and passing through (3,28). Write your equation in the form

kvasek [131]

Answer:

y = 8x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=8

y = 8x + b

We just need to find b. B is where the line intersects the y- axis. On the y-axis by definition, the x-coordinate =0 but that is not helpful now...

Let's re write and try to solve for b. That means write as b = ...

y = 8x + b

b = y - (8x)

Substitute for x and y the numbers of the coordinates of the given point (3,28):

b = y - (8*x)

b = 28 - (8*3)

b = 28 - 24

b = 4

So the answer is y = 8x + 4
