First we need to find the slope.

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (-5 - 2) / (5 - -3)

slope = (-7) / (5 + 3)

slope = -7/8

.

Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = (-7/8)(x - -3)

y - 2 = (-7/8)(x + 3)

y - 2 = (-7/8)x - 21/8

y = (-7/8)x - 21/8 + 2

y = (-7/8)x - 21/8 + 16/8

y = (-7/8)x - 5/8

Josef receives 3$ per hour spent doing chores. So, after x hours of chores, he receives 3x dollars. This money must be added to the 10$ he would receive no matter what, so the total expression is

m = 10+3x

We can test the options against the given patterns: in pattern 1, we have one black hexagon and 6 white hexagons. Let's see which equations fit: if we substitute b=1 and w=6 we have:

A) 6 = 6\cdot 1 - ok

B) 6 = 3\cdot 1 +2 - wrong

C) 6 = 2\cdot 1 +4 - ok

D) 6 = 6\cdot 1 + 2 - wrong

E) 6 = 2\cdot 1 + 3 - wrong

So, the only feasible answers are A or C, because all the other functions don't fit even the first pattern. Let's test the two survivors for pattern 2: we have two black hexagons and 8 white hexagons. Plugging b=2 and w=8 into A and C we have

A) 8 = 6\cdot 2 - wrong

C) 8 = 2\cdot 2 +4 - ok

So, the answer is C, because it models correctly pattern 2 as well. For the sake of completeness, let's test this function against pattern 3 as well: we have 3 black and 10 white hexagons. Plugging b=3 and w=10 into C we have

C) 10 = 2\cdot 3 +4 - ok

So, C models correctly all patterns, and thus describe the general rule.

Solve for the following equation <br> 1/2(2 – 4x) + 2x = 13
mart [117]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2-4x)+2x=13

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

1/2(2-4x)+2x=13

Simplifying:

+ 0.5*(2-4x)+2x=13

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+(+1-2x)+2x=13

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+1-2x+2x=+13

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

-2x+2x=+13-1

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

0x=+12

0=12

The left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution. This equation is invalid.
