Answer:

3x+3

Step-by-step explanation

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. As such in your equation you would combine the <em>4x</em> and the <em>-x</em> because they contain the same variable (x). To combine these terms you simply add <em>4x + - x</em>, which can be written as <em>4x - x</em>. The product of this is <em>3x. </em>Because there is a <em>3</em> on its own with no other like terms to add to it the it, the simplified version of this equation would be <em>3x+3</em>.

Question 1: Find the equation of the line through point (5,4) and perpendicular to y=−43x−2. Use a forward slash (i.e. "/") for
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Question 1: y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: A line perpendicular to another line would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other line. If the slope of the first line is -4/3, the slope of a line perpendicular to the first would have a slope of 3/4.

Since the line goes through (5, 4), we can just put the points into the equation, y = 3/4x + b.

4 = 3/4(5) + b

b + 15/4 = 4

b = 16/4 - 15/4

b = 1/4

So, the equation of the line is y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: 5x + 6y = -6

6y = -5x - 6

y = -5/6x - 1

As stated before, a line perpendicular to another will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other. So, the slope of the other line is 6/5.

The line goes through (-2, -1), so we can put the points into the equation, y = 6/5x + b.

-1 = 6/5(-2) + b

b - 12/5 = -5/5

b = -5/5 + 12/5

b = 7/5

So, the equation of the line is y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Hope this helps!

Two equations are given below:
Klio2033 [76]
First, you want all the variables to be on one side:
a - 3b = 4
a - b = -2

Now you want to eliminate one of the variables, in this case a is easiest.

Subtract the second equation from the first and you're left with:
-2b = 6
so b = -3

Sub the value of b back into either of the equations and solve for x:
a - (-3) = -2
a = -5

So your answer is (-5,-3)
