You would divide both sides by 0.75, to get a=-12.
I think this is a one- step equation, but that is the only way I think you can solve it.
Answer:
y = -1/3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
The line y = 3x - 2 has slope 3.
The perpendicular line has slope -1/3.
Now we find the equation of the line that has slope -1/3 and passes through (-9, 5).
y = mx + b
y = -1/3x + b
5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b
5 = 3 + b
b = 2
The equation of the perpendicular is
y = -1/3x + 2
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
x ------------------> 1 hour
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/4) * (1/10)
x = 5/40
x = 1/8
Answer:
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
x = 1/8
