y = 4

because the original is a vertical, you need a horizontal line and the point it goes through is (-5,4)  so it has to be y = 4

Evalute the experssion -280+12x=
Alina [70]
The answer is 23 1/3. First, you need to add 280 to both sides of the equations in order cancel out 280 and get 12x by itself. But remember whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must to do the other. So now you have 12x=280. Now divide both sides of the equation by 12 in order to get x completely isolated. 280 divided by twelve is 23 1/3.

An equilateral triangle has 3 congruent sides so the 2 expressions above are equal
3x - 9= 23 - 5x
And then you solve for x

Use substitution to solve the system.<br><br> x=3y-8<br> 3x-4y=-9
nadya68 [22]
<span>x=3y-8
3x-4y=-9

We are told that:
</span>x=3y-8

So replace x in 3x-4y=-9 with x=3y-8 like so: 
3(3y-8)-4y=-9 

Start by distributing the 3: 
(3)(3y)+(3)(-8)+-4y=-9
Now you have: 
9y+-24+-4y=-9&#10;
Combine like terms, now you have: 
5y-24=-9&#10;
add 24 to both sides 
5y-24+24=-9+24&#10;
Now you have:
5y=15
Divide both sides by 5 to get: 
y=3 

Now that you know y=3 plug it into: 
x=3y-8
x=3(3)-8
x=1 

Final answer: 
(1,3)

150 students were surveyed on how many text messages to send in a date for different devices. let X represent the number of stud
kakasveta [241]

Given that the total number of students that sent messages = 150 students

a) To obtain the equation to represent the number of students who send text messages, we will sum up the variables in the Venn diagram and equate it to 150.

\begin{gathered} 75+x+3x+x=150 \\ x+3x+x=150-75 \\ 5x=75 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation is

5x=75

b) Solving for x

\begin{gathered} 5x=75 \\ x=\frac{75}{5}=15 \\ \therefore x=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, x = 15.

c) The total number of student that uses cell phone = 75 + x = 75 + 15= 90students

The total number of students that sent messages = 150students

The formula for probability is,

\text{Probability = }\frac{\text{Number of students that uses cell phone}}{\text{Total number of students}}

Hence,

P(\text{Number of students that uses cell phone)}=\frac{90}{150}=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student uses their cell phone to send text messages ​is 3/5.
