Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the reciprocal of 2/3

Remember that when multiply a number by its reciprocal, the result is 1

so

The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2

step 2

Let

x-----> the number added to the numerator and denominator

\frac{23+x}{12-x}=\frac{3}{2}

Solve for x

2(23+x)=3(12-x)\\46+2x=36-3x\\2x+3x=36-46\\5x=-10\\x=-2

step 3

verify

\frac{23+x}{12-x}

substitute x=-2

\frac{23-2}{12+2}

\frac{21}{14}

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} ----> is ok

therefore

The number is -2

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-1, 5) and (3, -7)?
enyata [817]

Answer:

3x + y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y_1 = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1)

y - 5 = \dfrac{-7 - 5}{3 - (-1)}(x - (-1))

y - 5 = \dfrac{-12}{4}(x + 1)

y - 5 = -3(x + 1)

y - 5 = -3x - 3

3x + y = 2

Which theorem could kari use to show the measure of angle qml is supplementary to the measure of angle snk? (1 point)?
shepuryov [24]
<span>Kari used the theorem of "Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem". The Same -Side Interior Angles Theorem states that, when two lines that are parallel are intersected by a transversal line, the same-side interior angles that are formed are supplementary, or add up to 180 degrees.</span>
