Step-by-step explanation:

the first question

x-2/5=7

you need to use the same rules as pemdas but sorta in reverse. starting with multiplying 7 by 5, which is 35

x-2= 35

then you would add 2 to 35

making the answer x=37

You'd follow the same steps for the second one.

let me know if you have any questions

I hope this helped

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (1)

$3\frac{3}{9}+7\frac{6}{11}=10\frac{87}{99}$

$3\frac{3}{9}+7\frac{6}{11}$ $=3+\frac{3}{9}+7+\frac{6}{11}$

$=(3+7)+(\frac{3}{9}+\frac{6}{11})$

$=10+(\frac{3}{9}\times \frac{11}{11})+(\frac{6}{11}\times \frac{9}{9})$

$=10+(\frac{33}{99}+\frac{54}{99})$

$=10+\frac{87}{99}$

$=10\frac{87}{99}$

True.

Option (2)

$2\frac{3}{8}+6\frac{4}{5}=8\frac{12}{40}$

$2\frac{3}{8}+6\frac{4}{5}=2+\frac{3}{8}+6+\frac{4}{5}$

$=(2+6)+(\frac{3}{8}+\frac{4}{5})$

$=(8)+(\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{5}{5} +\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{8}{8})$

$=8+(\frac{15}{40}+\frac{32}{40})$

$=8+\frac{47}{40}$

$=8+\frac{40}{40}+\frac{7}{40}$

$=8+1+\frac{7}{40}$

$=9+\frac{7}{40}$

$=9\frac{7}{40}$

False.

Option(3)

$3\frac{3}{7}+4\frac{2}{3}=7\frac{2}{21}$

$3\frac{3}{7}+4\frac{2}{3}=(3+\frac{3}{7})+(4+\frac{2}{3})$

$=(3+4)+(\frac{3}{7}+\frac{2}{3})$

$=7+(\frac{3}{7}\times \frac{3}{3} +\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{7}{7})$

$=7+(\frac{9}{21}+\frac{14}{21})$

$=7+(\frac{23}{21})$

$=7+(\frac{21}{21}+\frac{2}{21})$

$=8+\frac{1}{21}$

$=8\frac{1}{21}$

False.

Option (4)

$4\frac{5}{6}+5\frac{5}{7}=9\frac{10}{13}$

$4\frac{5}{6}+5\frac{5}{7}=4+\frac{5}{6}+5+\frac{5}{7}$

$=(4+5)+(\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{7})$

$=9+(\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{7}{7}+\frac{5}{7}\times \frac{6}{6})$

$=9+(\frac{35}{42}+\frac{30}{42})$

$=9+\frac{65}{42}$

$=9+(\frac{42}{42}+\frac{23}{42})$

$=9+1+\frac{23}{42}$

$=10\frac{23}{42}$

False.

Therefore, Option (1) is the answer.

A line l2 is perpendicular to the line x + 2y – 5 = 0 without computing the gradient of this

Stells [14]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put the line into y=mx+b form (slope-intercept form), where m is the slope (or gradient) and b is the y intercept

add 5 to both sides

x+2y=5

subtract x from both sides

2y=-x+5

divide by 2

y=-1/2x+5/2

perpendicular lines have slopes (gradients) that are negative (one is positive, another one is negative) and reciprocal (they are essentially the same number, just "flipped")

to find the slope of I2:

since -1/2 is negative, that means the slope of I2 will be 2 (2/1 is the reciprocal of 1/2 (positive version of -1/2))

so here's our equation so far:

y=2x+b

now we need to find b

because line will pass through (3,4), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 4 as y and 3 as x

4=2(3)+b

multiply

4=6+b

-2=b

therefore the equation is y=2x-2

hope this helps!!
