6 0

Answer:

p= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you want to distribute the 6 to 3p-2 which basically means multiply

6(3p – 2) = 24

6 times 3p is 18 and 6 time -2 is -12

* remember a negative and a positive equal a negative*

18p-12=24

you want to get 18p by itself, so in order to do that you can add 12 to both sides because if you add 12 on the left side it cancels out -12 and whatever you do to one side you have to do it to the other so add 12 to 24 which is 36

18p = 36

since you want to get p by itself you divide p on both sides so it can cancel out 18 and 36/18 is 2

so p = 2

if you are wondering why i divide it and not subtract or add it is because 18 and p are stuck together so you have to divide but if it was like 18 + p you can subtract because 18 and p arent together

8. Given: PQR and TSR are right triangles,

rewona [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, right angled, isosceles, equilateral.

A right angled triangle is a triangle with one angle equals to 90°.

Statement Reason

∠PQR = ∠RST Given. ∠PQR = ∠RST = 90° (definition for right

angle triangle.

PQ = ST Given

PR ≅ RT Since R is the midpoint of PT, hence PR = RT

ΔPQR ≅ ΔTSR Side-angle-side triangle congruence theorem.

the Side-angle-side triangle congruence theorem

states that if two sides and an included angle of

one triangle is equal to two sides and an included

angle of another triangle, then the two triangles

are congruent. PQ=ST, PR = RT and ∠PQR = ∠TSR

What is the y intercept of a graph containing the two points (3,1) and (7,-2)?

olasank [31]

The y intercept of a graph containing the two points (3,1) and (7,-2) is $\frac{13}{4}$

Solution:

Given points are (3, 1) and (7, -2)

The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ------- eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

The slope of line is given as:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here the points are (3, 1) and (7, -2)

$(x_1, y_1) = (3, 1)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (7, -2)$

Substituting in formula, we get

$m = \frac{-2-1}{7-3}\\\\m = \frac{-3}{4}$

To find the y intercept:

$\text{Substitute } m = \frac{-3}{4} \text{ and } (x, y) = (3, 1) \text{ in eqn 1 }$

$1 = \frac{-3}{4} \times 3 + c\\\\1 = \frac{-9}{4} + c\\\\ \text{Simplify the above equation } \\\\1 = \frac{-9+4c}{4}\\\\4 = -9 + 4c\\\\13 = 4c\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 4 }\\\\c = \frac{13}{4}$
