Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
Answer:
1:8
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour for every 8 ounces gives a 1:8 ratio
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 2 ^ -4 ( = 1/16)
Discussion:
- 4 log {8} 2 {8} is used instead of subscript notation
Basic property of logarithms is that exponents become multipliers and vice versa:
-4 log {8} 2 = log {8} (2^ -4)
Thank you,
MrB
Problem 1
subtract 3 x
5y=-3x+11
divide 5
y=3/5x+2.2'
Problem 2
add 5x
7y=5x+9
divide 7
y=5/7x+1.3'
'notice'
you can put 2.2 into a fraction (11/5) and 1.3 (9/7) if your teacher allows it, but i put them into decimals
Answer:
8-2x I think
Step-by-step explanation:
You would first divide 39 by 3, ( 2 + 1 = 3) and get 13.
You would next take 5 away from 13 and get 8.
Then you have your answer, because you cannot simplify it more because both the numbers do not have the same variable.
