Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, it's important to understand that the number 5 is the coefficient on the variable M. This just means that -5 "times" M equals -40. So, whenever you see a number next to a variable, it means multiplication.

If we were to solve, we would just divide both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, -40 divided by 5 is -8.

Answer: m=8

To solve this, we would have to get m by itself. Since m is being multiplied by -5, you would have to divide -5 on both sides to get m alone.

-5m=-40
/-5 /-5
_______
m=8

Mr. Lee left his fortune to his 3 sons, 4 daughters and his wife. Each son received twice as much as each daughter and his wife
ivolga24 [154]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

$3600.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the wife received $6000 which is a quarter of the money, solve for the total amount of the fortune:

1/4x = 6000

Multiply both sides by 4:

x = $24000

We can begin by subtracting the wife's amount from the total:

24000 - 6000 = $18000

He has 3 sons and 4 daughters. Let 'x' represent the amount the daughters received, and '2x' the amount the sons received.

18000 = 3(2x) + 4(x)

Distribute and combine the terms:

18000 = 6x + 4x

18000 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10:

18000/10 = 10x/10

x = $1800. This is the amount that each daughter receives. Since the sons receive '2x':

2(1800) = $3600.

I’m confused on this one
andrew-mc [135]

First we need to know the point slope form. It is y - y1 = m(x - x1). In the y1 and x1 spots, you just plug in any coordinate on the line.

m would be the slope which we already know as 5/3.

We are given the coordinate point (0,3) as a point on the line. This is also what we are going to plug into the equation. 0 will be x1 and 3 will be y1.

Our equation should then look like after plugged in as....

y - 3 = 5/3(x)

x is by itself because subtracting or adding by 0 yield the original number.
