Triss [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+9(x-1)=8(2x+2)-5

2x+9x-9=16x+16-5

11x-9=16x+11

<u>     +9       +9</u>

11x=16x+20

-11x  -11x

5x=20

x=4

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-2/7x+9 and passes through the point (4,-6)
Ulleksa [173]
This is in slope-intercept form, so you can think of it as being y=mx+b. Invert m (the slope) and flip its sign, and then substitute the x and y values in and solve for b. The answer is y=7/2x-20.

In a certain town, 25% of people commute to work by bicycle. If a person is selected randomly from the town, what are the odds a
iren2701 [21]
<h3>Answer: Choice B)   3:1</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Consider a very small town of only 4 people.

If 1 person bikes to work, then 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% of the population commutes by bicycle. We see that the remaining 4-1 = 3 people don't travel by bike.

The odds against selecting someone who uses their bike to get to work is 3:1 which is why the answer is choice B

We list the number of people we don't want first, and then the number of people we do want (those who use a bike). A colon separates the two values to form the odds ratio.

We can say "3:1" as "3 to 1". It means we're 3 times more likely to select someone we don't want vs someone we do want. The odds are against the bike person which is why the value we don't want is listed first.

In contrast, if your teacher asked "what are the odds in favor of selecting someone who commutes by bicycle?" then the answer would be 1:3. We simply swap the positions of what we set up earlier.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (5, 8)
shusha [124]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(8-4)/(5-3)

m=4/2

m=2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=2(x-3)

y=2x-6+4

y=2x-2
