Answer:
<em>m=-1/2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in y=mx+b form. M is the slope. In this equation, -1/2 is m.
Therefore the slope is -1/2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>
1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8
Add 4 to both sides
-4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 + 4
3x = 4x - 4
Subtract 4x from both sides,
3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4
-x = -4

2) -5x - 8 = 2
Add 8 to both sides
-5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
-5x = 10
Divide both sides by (-5)


3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)
12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r
12r - 14 = 10 - 5r
Add 14 to both sides
12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14
12r = 24 - 5r
Add 5r to both sides
12r + 5r = 24
17r = 24
Divide both sides by 17
r = 24/17
4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)
3x - 8 = -17 - 2x
Add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8
3x = -9 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
3x + 2x = -9
5x = -9
Divide both sides by 5

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A tourist first walked 17km with a speed of v km/h.
Since 
therefore, 
Let
be the time he walked with speed v.
then 
Also he hiked 12 km uphill with the speed that was 2 km/hour less than his original speed.
Let
be the time he hiked 12 km,
Then 
The total time for the whole trip is given by:-

Substitute the values of
and
in the equation, we get

Sum of the first two is:
-3x+5+7-4x = -7x+12
That subtracted from 5x+17:
5x+17-(-7x+12) = 12x+5
Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
91 is 70 percent of the price
70% of 130 is 130*0.7 = 91
