Remember you can do anyting to an equation as long as ou do it to both sides
-6x+4=-50
minus 4 both sides
-6x=-54
divide both sides by -6
x=9
5x+6=-44
minus 6 both sides
5x=-50
divide both sides by 5
x=-10
-3(7+6x)=-201
normally you would distribute (that works) but it's easier to divide both sides by -3
7+6x=67
minus 7 both sides
6x=60
divide by 6 both sides
x=10
Add the ratio together: 2 + 5 = 7
Divide this by the total number of plants;
70/7 = 10
Now times the ration by this number:
2:5 becomes 20:50 (times by 10)
This tells us we have 20 tulips as 50 daisies
1)We have to make a line perpendicular to y=2x+3, passing through the point (0,0).
y=2x+3
m=solpe=2
The slope of the line perpedicular to y=2x+3 is m´
m´=-1/m
m´=-1/2
Point slope form:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
(0,0)
m=-1/2
y-0=-1/2(x-0)
y=-x/2
Therefore, the line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is y=-x/2.
2)The point on the line y=2x+3 tha is closest to the origin is the point of intersection of the two lines.
y=2x+3
y=-x/2
We can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
2x+3=-x/2
least common multiple=2
4x+6=-x
4x+x=-6
5x=-6
x=-6/5 (=-1.2)
y=-x/2
y=-(-6/5)/2=6/10=3/5 (=0,6)
Therefore: the point of the line y=2x+3 that is closest to the origin is:
(-1.2 , 0.6)
Answer:
251 miles on Tuesday
Step-by-step explanation:
327 miles + n miles = 578 miles (total).
Solving this for n, we subtract 327 miles from both sides, obtaining:
n = 251 mi = distance Danny traveled on Tuesday
