3w +2 =7w
-3w -3w
2=4w
Divide each side by 4
1/2=w
Check your answer:
3 (1/2) + 2 = 7 (1/2)
(3/2) + (4/2) = (7/2)
(7/2) = (7/2)
Hope this helps.
Half of 6 is 3
Half of 8 is 4
so it will be 3 in by 4 in.
Your answer should be -x+3
The first thing I'll do is solve "5y = 2x + 20" for "<span>y=</span>", so that I can find my reference slope:
y = (2/5)x + 4;
So the reference slope from the reference line is <span>m = 2/5;</span>.
Now I need to find two new slopes, and use them with the point they've given me; namely, with the point (-1, 3). They want me to find the line through (4, –1) that is parallel to 5y = 2x + 20; that is, through the given point, they want me to find a line that has the same slope as the reference line.
Since a parallel line has an identical slope, then the parallel line through (-1, 3) will have slope <span>m = 2/5</span>. Now I have a point and a slope! So I'll use the point-slope form to find the line: y - 3 = (2/5)( x + 1);
Finally, y = (2/5)x + 17/5;
The answer is: 1.25
