Answer:
x =9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = be the number
2x -3 =15
Add 3 to each side
2x-3 +3 =15 +3
2x = 18
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 =18/2
x =9
Answer:
21 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is 0.5bh; b is the length of the base (6) and h is the height (7). So if you plug in those values, you have 0.5(6)(7). Multiply those and you get 21!
Answer:
y = -(5/4)x - (1 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A line parallel to y= -(5/4)x - 6 will have the same slope, -(5/4), but a different value for the y-intercept, which is -6 in this equation. This means we can write:
y = -(5/4)x + b
As klong a b is not -6, the line will be parallel. But we are told that point (5,-8) must be on the new line. That means we need to select a value of b to make that happen. By shifting b, we can move the straight line up or down. To move it so that it goes through (5,8), enter that point in the equation and solve for b:
y = -(5/4)x + b
-8 = -(5/4)*5 + b for (5,-8)
-8 = -(25/4) + b
b = -8 + (25/4)
b = -(32/4)+(25/4)
b = -(7/4) or - 1 3/4
The parallel line that goes through (5,-8) is y = -(5/4)x - 2
( Don't cheat, use your own words) He is correct. 9 x 8 = 72
He can check his math by doing 72 ÷ 9 = 8 and 72 ÷ 8 = 9
I think it is 130. I hope this helps! :D
