4x-5=23
4x=28
x=7
w=7
3x-5=3(7)-5=21-5=24

W + 3w - 5 = 23 +5 +5 (-5 +5 cancels out and equals 0) Like terms. What you do to one side, you do to the other. 4w = 28 ---- --- 4 4 Isolate w by dividing by 4 W = 7

What is the equation of a line with points (16,-4) and (-32-10) Oy - 4= 1 (x - 16) Oy+4= 1 (x – 16) Oy - 10 = 3 (x – 32) O y + 1

stira [4]

Answer:

D. y + 10 = 1/8* (x + 32)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given points to work out the equation of the line.

<u>Find the slope:</u>

m = (- 10 - (-4)) / (- 32 - 16) = - 6 / - 48 = 1/8

<u>Use (-32, - 10) and point- slope form:</u>

y - (- 10) = 1/8*(x - (-32))
y + 10 = 1/8* (x + 32)

Correct choice is D

Sharonda uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at her restaurant. She needs to buy 120

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: $\left \{ {{m=2d} \atop {m+d=120}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

d = kilograms of dark chocolate

m =kilograms of milk chocolate

So, her recipe calls for twice the amount of dark chocolate as milk chocolate.

Mathematically speaking:

m = 2d

She needs to buy 120 kg, of chocolate in total. So;

m + d = 120

The following system of equations represent the situation:

$\left \{ {{m=2d} \atop {m+d=120}} \right.$

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.
