Answer:

y=3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the equation of the line:

y=mx+b

if the line is parallel, then the slope(m) of the line stays the same:

y=3x+b

we then substitute the ordered pair into the equation and solve for b:

-13 = 3(-2)+b

-13 = -6+b

-13+6 = b

-7 = b

now we substitute the b value into the original equation and the answer:

y=3x-7

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:

$x-12=-4x+6$

and not $x-12=6$

Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.

I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.

Solving the equation

$3(x-4)=-4-2(x-5)$

Using distribution

$3x-12=-4-2x+10\\3x-12=-2+6$

Add $2x$ both sides

$3x-12+2x=-2x+6+2x$

$5x-12=6$

Add 12 both sides

$5x-12+12=6+12\\5x=18$

Divide both sides by 5

$x=\frac{18}{5}$

Answer:

x^2 - 5x = 14

x^2 - 5x-14 = 0

Now, we have to find the multiples of -14 and numbers that add/subtract to -5; this helps to find the factors.

-7+2 = -5

-7*2 = -14

Based on the above info, we can find out my factors; they are:-

(x-7)(x+2)

The Rumpart family is building a new room onto their house. The width of the new room will be 16 feet. The length of the room wi

QveST [7]

Answer:

$\text{The length of new room}=16.64\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of the new room}=266.24\text{ feet}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the Rumpart family is building a new room onto their house. The width of the new room will be 16 feet.

The length of the room will be 4% greater than the width. This means that length of new room will be 16 feet plus 4% of 16.

$\text{The length of new room}=16+(\frac{4}{100}*16)$

$\text{The length of new room}=16+(0.04*16)$

$\text{The length of new room}=16+0.64$

$\text{The length of new room}=16.64$

Therefore, the expression $16+(0.04*16)$ represents the length of new room and the length of new room is 16.64 feet.

Since we know that area of a rectangular shape is width times length.

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length*Width}$

$\text{Area of the new room}=16\text{ feet}\times 16.64\text{ feet}$

$\text{Area of the new room}=266.24\text{ feet}^2$

Therefore, the area of the new room will be 266.24 square feet.
