Answer:
e = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
7(2e - 1) - 3 = 6 + 6e
14e - 7 - 3 = 6 + 6e
14e - 10 = 6 + 6e
14e - 6e - 10 = 6
8e - 10 = 6
8e = 6 + 10
8e = 16
8e/8 = 16/8
e = 2
Recheck:
7(2e - 1) - 3 = 6 + 6e
7(2(2) - 1) - 3 = 6 + 6(2)
7(4 - 1) - 3 = 6 + 12
7(3) - 3 = 18
21 - 3 = 18
18 = 18 ✅
8 x 0.001 - 2 x 0.00001
= 0.008-0.00002
= 0.00798
Answer:
~1.8 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
Michael lives at the closest point to the school (the origin) on Maple Street, which can be represented by the line y = 2x – 4.
This means Michael's house will be the intersection point of line y1 (y = 2x - 4) and line y2 that is perpendicular to y1 and passes the origin.
Denote equation of y2 is y = ax + b,
with a is equal to negative reciprocal of 2 => a = -1/2
y2 pass the origin (0, 0) => b = 0
=> Equation of y2:
y = (-1/2)x
To find location of Michael's house, we get y1 = y2 or:
2x - 4 = (-1/2)x
<=> 4x - 8 = -x
<=> 5x = 8
<=> x = 8/5
=> y = (-1/2)x = (-1/2)(8/5) = -4/5
=> Location of Michael' house: (x, y) = (8/5, -4/5)
Distance from Michael's house to school is:
D = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt[(8/5)^2 + (-4/5)^2) = ~1.8 (mile)
