Solve 20x+ 5y = 15 for y.

Nesterboy [21]3 years ago

20x+ 5y = 15

Move 20x to the other side. Sign changes from +20x to -20x

20x-20x+5y=-20x+15

5y=-20x+15

Divide both sides by 5

5y/5=y ( Cross out 5 and 5, divide by 5, 1*1*y=y)

-20/5=-4x

15/5=3

y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x

Answer: y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5,5) and a directix of y = -1
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D

Which value of x satisfies both -9x + 4y = 8 and -3x − y = 4 given the same value of y?
liq [111]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y will have same value, y doesn't really matter. Thus,

We can solve for y in the 2nd equation as:

-3x - y = 4

-3x - 4 = y

Now we can plug it into the first and solve for x:

-9x + 4y = 8

-9x + 4(-3x - 4) = 8

-9x - 12x - 16 = 8

-21x = 8 + 16

-21x = 24

x = 24/-21

x = -8/7

Correct answer is C.

What are the coordinates of vertex A of square ABCD?
bonufazy [111]
ABCD is a square . if the coordinates of three of its vertices are A(-1,2a), B(a,2a), C(a,0), find the coordinates of D. BC is obviously 2a (it's a vertical line) then AB must be 2a (notice AB is horizontal) so BC = AC because it is a square 2a = a+1 a=1

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Political parties are organized groups of people with similar ideas or ideology about the function and scope of government, with shared policy goals that work together to elect individuals to political office, to create and implement policies, to further an agenda, and to gain control of the government and the policy-making process. Parties gain control over the government by winning elections with candidates they officially sponsor or nominate for positions in government. Political parties nominate candidates to run many levels of government including the national level, Congress, and the presidency; but, they nominate for state and local levels as well. They also coordinate political campaigns and mobilize voters.

Political parties are points of access/linkage institutions available to the public, though they are not themselves government institutions. Neither interest groups nor political parties are directly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Where interest groups often work indirectly to influence our leaders, political parties are organizations that try to directly influence public policy through nominating and officially sponsoring members who seek to win and hold public office. This is a key difference. Interest groups do not officially nominate or nominate candidates for public office, although they may support them politically and even contribute dollars to their campaign.

Parties accomplish this by identifying and aligning sets of issues that are important to voters in the hopes of gaining support during elections. In this respect, parties provide choices to the electorate, something they are doing that is in sharp contrast to their opposition. These positions on these critical issues are often presented in campaign documents or political advertising. During a national presidential campaign, they also frequently reflect the party platform, which is adopted at each party’s presidential nominating convention every four years.

If successful, a party can create a large enough electoral coalition to gain control of the government. Once in power, the party is much more likely to be able to deliver, to its voters, the policy preferences they choose by electing its partisans to the government.Political parties organize political campaigns to win public office for those they nominate.
