Answer: 3x - 9

Step-by-step explanation: "9 less than three times a number" does not mean 9 minus three times a number, less than actually switches the order around so that 9 less than three times a number actually means three times a number minus 1 which can be read as 3x - 9.

Answer:

Part A: Angle R is not a right angle.

Part B; Angle GRT' is a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of the triangle are G(-6,5), R(-3,1) and T(2,6).

Slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Slope of GR is

$\text{Slope of GR}=\frac{1-5}{-3-(-6)}=\frac{-4}{3}$

Slope of RT is

$\text{Slope of RT}=\frac{6-1}{2-(-3)}=\frac{5}{5}=1$

Product of slopes of GR and RT is

$\frac{-4}{3}\times 1=\frac{-4}{3}\neq -1$

Therefore lines GR and RT are not perpendicular to each other and angle R is not a right angle.

Part B:

If vertex T translated by rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow(x-1,y-2)$

Then the coordinates of T' are

$(2,6)\rightarrow(2-1,6-2)$

$(2,6)\rightarrow(1,4)$

Slope of RT' is

$\text{Slope of RT'}=\frac{4-1}{1-(-3)}=\frac{3}{4}$

Product of slopes of GR and RT' is

$\frac{-4}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=-1$

Since the product of slopes is -1, therefore the lines GR and RT' are perpendicular to each other and angle GRT' is a right angle.

A membership at a yoga studio costs $35 per month. Write an equation for the cost of the membership, c, that you pay if you keep

Usimov [2.4K]

Since there is no base down payment or anything the equation i think would just be 35m = c
If there was say a one time payment of $20 and then the monthly payments it would look like 20+35m=C
I hope this helps :)
