No it's 2.125 so it's not repeating

17/8 = 2.125 which has the decimal portion terminate or stop. This is not a repeating decimal. This is a terminating decimal.

The denominator 8 can be factored into 2*2*2. Since 2 is the only factor, this means that the decimal terminates. The same rule applies if 5 is present as a factor. If the denominator has other numbers (other than 2 or 5) as factors, then the decimal would repeat in some fashion.

When you're given a point and the slope of a line, it is often easiest to write its equation in point-slope form.

This is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where $(x_1,y_1)$ is the ordered pair for the point you are given and m is the slope.

Here, you would write $y-8=-3(x-7)$ . Then, you simplify to get to slope-intercept form, which is $y = mx+b$ , where b is the y-intercept.

$y-8=-3(x-7) \\ y=-3x+29$

The correct answer is A.

Is 7 a soluion of 5x-3=12?

Ket [755]

Hi there,

No, it isn't

5x - 3 = 12
5x = 12 + 3
5x =15

Hence, X = 3

3 is the solution

Hope this helps :)
