Answer:

The weight of the object is 3 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>

Let object weight be x kg.

Now, as per the available data,

3/4 kg + 3/4 (x kg) = x kg

<u>Step 2: </u>

3/4 (1 + x) = x

1 + x = 4x/3

1 = x (4/3 - 1)

x = 1 / (1/3)

x = 3

Weight of Object is 3 kg.

<u>Step 3: </u>

Let's check if this value satisfies the first equation.

3/4 + 3/4 x 3 = 3/4 + 9/4 = 12/4 = 3

Hence proved.

Solving equations and Inequalities 1 ) -10p=2(p-12)
MArishka [77]
The answer is 2 = p
Explanation: Here the goal is to get the variable "p" by itself, so first your have to distribute 2 to (p-12) which gives you -10p = 2p-24. Then you add 10p on both sides so that the variable is on one side. Then you add 24 to both sides. After that you divide 12 from both sides, giving you 2 = P

-10P = 2(p-12)
-10p = 2p-24
+10p +10p
0 = 12p-24
+24 +24
24 = 12p
24÷12 = 12p÷12
2 = p

What is the equation of a line in point-slope form that passes throught -8, 1 and has a slope of 5/6
Flauer [41]

Answer:

5x - 6y +36 =0 is the required equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1, y1) =(-8, - 1)

Slope (m) =5/6

The equation is:

(y - y1) =m(x-x1)

y +1=5/6(x +8)

6y +6 =5x +40

5x - 6y +36 =0 is the required equation.

Hope this helps!!!!
