X=5 if that's what you were asking for
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
y=mx+b
slope=m
y=5x+3
5=slope
5 times what=-1
divide both sides by 5
what=-1/5
the equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
m=-1/5
point=(-1,-1)
y-(-1)=-1/5(x-(-1))
y+1=-1/5(x+1)
y+1=-1/5x-1/5
y=-1/5x-6/5
1/5x+y=-6/5
x+5y=-6
the euation is
y+1=-1/5(x+1) or
y=-1/5x-6/5 or
x+5y=-6 (all same equation but different forms)
Hi there!
Th' Eqn. is :-
4 (x - 3) = 2 (3x + 1)
=> 4x - 12 = 2 (3x + 1)
=> 4x - 12 = 6x + 2
Combine th' like terms :-
=> 4x - 6x = 2 + 12
=> - 2x = 14
=> x =

=> x = - 7
Hence, The required answer is : x = - 7
~ Hope it helps!
Marlene owes a total of $20,710.75 in taxes.
If we are using the same tax schedule then $95,000 belongs to this bracket:
Over - But not over - of the excess over -
$77,100 but not over $160,850.. 15,698.75 plus 28% 77,100
Get the 28% of the difference between $95,000 and $77,100:
$95,000 - $77,100 = $17,900
$17,900 * .28 = $5,012
$15,698.75 + $5,012 = $20,710.75
6/15 = 2/c...this is a proportion, so we must cross multiply
(6)(c) = (15)(2)
6c = 30..divide both sides by 6
c = 30/6
c = 5
and if u will notice...6/15 = 2/5...proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.
