Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x+4)-3=(x-2)

1.5x+6)-3=4.5x-9

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

+9 +9

1.5x+12=4.5x

divide 1.5x and 4.5

12=3x

/3 /3

x=4

Answer: x = - 52

expand

5x+20−3=4.5x−9

then simplify

5x+17=4.5x−9

then subtract 4.5 from each sides

5x+17−4.5x=−9

Simplify

0.5x+17=−9

then subtract 17 from both sides

0.5x=−9−17

then simplify

0.5x=−2

then divide both side by 0.5

-26/0.5

so x = - 52

What is the slope Of a line that passes through the points (9,8) and (2,3)?

tresset_1 [31]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{9}}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{-7}\implies \cfrac{5}{7}$

Which classification best describes the following system of equations? 3x+6y-12z=36 x=2y-4z=12 4x+8y-16z=48 inconsistent and dep

Viktor [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

Consistent and dependent

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following equation:

1. $3x+6y-12z=36$

2. $x+2y-4z=12$

3. $4x+8y-16z=48$

For equation 1 and 3, if we take out the common factor (3 and 4 respectively) out of it then we are left with $x+2y-4z=12$ which is the same as the equation number 2.

There is at least one set of the values for the unknowns that satisfies every equation in the system and since there is one solution for each of these equations, this system of equations is consistent and dependent.
