You could easily change the 2 1/2 to a 2.5 and do 2.5-6=-3.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(2b+-7)+5(b+-3)
Multiply 5 throughout the second parentheses
(2b-7)+(5b-15)
Add 2b and 5b
7b-7-15
Subtract -7 and -15
7b-22
That would be 1/4 * 28 = 7 ins^2
Answer:
A.

Negative reciprocal gives you the perpendicular slope so negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2.
Then apply point-slope form.
B. The answer is x = 6.
The midpoint of JK is

The line that goes through JK is just a horizontal line
because the y-coordinate does not change. So its perpendicular bisector is the vertical line that goes through the x-coordinate of the midpoint, that is,
.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.
Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.
In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that
x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that
10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2
If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that
x + 4 ≤ 19
x ≤ 19 - 4
x ≤ 15
Also,
10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170
10x + 32 ≥ 170
10x ≥ 170 - 32
10x ≥ 138
10x ≥ 138/10
x ≥ 13.8
The minimum number of hours is 14
