Answer:

x =40

Step-by-step explanation:

5= 1/5x-3

Add 3 to each side

5+3 = 1/5x -3+3

8 = 1/5x

Multiply by 5

8*5 = 1/5x *5

40 =x

How would I know what lines are intersecting, perpendicular, parallel and coinciding based off an equation given? Like in the pi

NikAS [45]

If lines are paralel, then they have the same slope
if the lines are pependicuilar, the slopes mutiply to -1

so

y=mx+b
m=slope

and
ax+by=c
-a/b is the slope

given
y=2/3x-2
slope is 2/3

x+y=4
slope is -1/1 or -1

2/3≠-1 and -1 times 2/3≠-1 so they are neither perpendicular or paralell

since they aren't paralell, we know they intersect somewhere

You are in charge of a crew that inspects cars. Each car takes approximately 1/2 hour for 1 person to inspect. The normal crew h

Answer:

Each inspectors NEEDS to work 20 hours in order to review 320 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time taken to inspect 1 car = 1/2 hr = 0.5 hr

The total people in crew are supposed to be 10

But 2 people are MISSING.

So, the total number of present people in crew = 10 - 2= 8

The total number of cars to be inspected = 320 cars.

Since each car takes 0.5 hour to be reviewed.

So, the time required to review 320 cars = 320 x 05 = 160 hours.

So, the total hours needed to inspect all 320 cars = 160 hours

Now,as there are total 8 crew members.

$\implies \textrm{The number of hours each inspector needs to work} = \frac{\textrm{Total working hours needed}}{\textrm{Toal number of inspectors}} \\= \frac{160}{8} = 20$
