Let the number be x.

4x - 8 =12

4x =12 +8 ( you bring the eight over to the 12, it becomes positive )

4x = 20

x = 20÷4

x = 5

Solving systems by Substitution Homework y=x+4 y=x-3​
zvonat [6]
There is no solution for this equation since they have the same slope, x/1. The only difference between these two is that their y intercepts are different meaning that they will be parallel lines that will never intersect among one other. For example, think of it as two separate lines that are have the same slope and never gain more distance/units from one another.


Solve:

To solve, you have to get one of this equations into a Ax+By=C equation form, standard equation. Let’s change y=x+4 into a standard equation.

We have to get x and y together and 4 as C.
So let’s subtract x from both sides;

y=x+4
-x -x
————————
-x+y=4

This is a standard equation.

Now let’s substitute.

take the standard equation and plug in y which is x+4 since there is a equation meaning it’s y=x+4


-x+(x+4)=4


Let’s simplify this mess.


-x+x equals 0. So we are left with 4=4.

Subtract 4 from both sides and we get 0=0



This means there is no solution. Hoped this helped.

Plane through A(1,-2,1) perpendicular to the vector from origin to A.
Aloiza [94]

(1, -2, 1) is perpendicular/normal to the plane, and passes through the point (1, -2, 1), so its equation is

(x-1,y+2,z-1)\cdot(1,-2,1)=0\imples(x-1)-2(y+2)+(z-1)=0\implies\boxed{x-2y+z=6}

Function f is defined by f(x)=3/2x+c. If f(6)=1, what is the value of f(c)?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

C = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \frac{3}{2} x + c \\  \\ plug \: x = 6 \\  \\ f(6) =  \frac{3}{2}  \times 6 + c \\  \\  f(6) = 3 \times 3 + c \\  \\ f(6) = 9+ c \\  \\  \therefore \: 1 = 9 + c \:  \{ \because \: f(6) = 1 \} \\  \\ 1 - 9 = c \\  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ c =  - 8}}\\\\f(c) =\frac{3}{2} c +(-8)\\\\\huge \orange { \boxed{ f(c) =\frac{3}{2} c -8}} \\\\
