Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation is the gradient of the equation.

y=mx+c

where m represents the gradient (slope)

here, the value that is written with x is 3, but that isn't your gradient. the equation is not arranged in the correct order. you may rearrange it into the same form as y=mx+c.

so, it becomes

3x+y=-5

y=-3x-5

now, compare both the equations. you can deciper that m=-3. that's what you're looking for!

Answer:

The slope of the equation is -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = -y − 5

+ 5 + 5 Add 5 to both sides

3x + 5 = -y Divide both sides by -1

-3x + 5 = y

The slope of the equation is -3x

The boiling point of water is 212∘F. In degrees Celsius, how much heat do I have to add to boil water that is already 194∘F? Use

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

You need to add 10 °C of heat.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quantity of heat in Celsius first we need to convert the units:

212 °F to °C (boiling point):

$C_{1} = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = \frac{5}{9}(212 - 32) = 100 ^{\circ} C$ (1)

194 °F to °C:

$C_{2} = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = \frac{5}{9}(194 - 32) = 90 ^{\circ} C$ (2)

Now we can find the quantity of heat that must be added by substrating equation (2) from (1):

$\Delta C = C_{1} - C_{2} = 100 ^{\circ}C - 90 ^{\circ}C = 10^{\circ} C$

Therefore, you need to add 10 °C of heat to boil water that is 90 °C.

I hope it helps you!

Need help with this ASAP. Thanks

Answer: check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides of equation by x(x+a)

This will get rid of those nasty fractions...cuz who likes them?

Anyways,

Now you should I think get

x(x+a)+a(ax)=a

I am pretty positive that you just distribute and solve.

You may have to factor and have to put everything as an equation set to equal=0

you try it and experiment. Sometimes you just have to try to think algebraically and creatively. Don’t get frustrated just work with it. Good luck!

9213x5 is a multiple of 9 find the value of x

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{The value of x is \textbf{7}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 9213x5 is a multiple of 9 and we need to find out the value of x .So the rule for divisibility for 9 is :-

Test for Divisibility by 9 :-

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9 .

Here the sum of the digits is :-

$\sf\implies Sum_{(digits)}= 9+2+1+3+x+5=\pink{20+x}$

Now here to make 20 +x divisible by 9 is should be equal to 27 since 27 is the nearest smallest multiple of 9 .

$\sf\implies 20 + x = 27 \\\\\sf\implies x = 27-20 \\\\\sf\implies\boxed{\pink{\sf x = 7 }}$
