How do you solve this problem step by step: (4x+3)+(-7x+5)=?

1 answer:

8 0

$(4x + 3) + ( - 7x + 5)$
Remove unnecessary parenthesis

$4x + 3 + ( - 7x + 5)$
When there is a "+" in front of the parenthesis the expression remains the same

$4x + 3 - 7x + 5$
Collect the like terms by subtracting their coefficients

$(4 - 7)x$
Calculate the difference
$- 3x$
$- 3x + 3 + 5$
Add numbers
$3 + 5 = 8$
Answer:
$- 3x + 8$

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that goes through the two points (-8, 3) and (4, 27)?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

-1/2 or -0.5

negative half

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of regular line= (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)

(27-3) / (4 - -8)

24 / (4+8)

24 / 12 = 2

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal

the negative reciprocal of positive 2/1 (2 as a fraction) is:

negative half: -1/2 or -0.5
