5 less than the number is x - 5
The reciprocal is 1/(x - 5)

This number is 1/(x - 5) = 4(1/(2x)) Cross multiply.
2x = 4*(x - 5) Remove the brackets.
2x = 4x - 20 Subtract 2x from both sides
0 = 4x - 2x - 20
0 = 2x - 20 Add 20 to both sides
20 = 2x Divide by 2
20/2 = x
10 = x

Answer:

a) 3 b) y = 3x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In order to find the gradient (slope), find the change in y or change in x (rise/run).

-2 - 2 / 7 - (-5)

-2 - 2 / 7 + 5

-4/12 = -1/3

Now that we know the gradient of line AB is -1/3, take the opposite reciprocal of that to find the gradient perpendicular to line AB.

-1/3 ⇒ 3

b)

Take point C's values and the perpendicular gradient found earlier and substitute them into the point-slope form equation.

y - 5 = 3(x - (-2))

y - 5 = 3(x + 2)

y - 5 = 3x + 6

y = 3x + 11

A car travels
Alborosie
A car travels - 1/6.
in 3/5 of an hour - 
60 / 5 - 12 x 3 = 36.
so in 36 minutes. 

4/5 = 36+12 = 48 minutes.
2/6.

5/5 (full hour ) = 60 minutes.
3/6.

Car can travel - 3/6.
