<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>

What are the coordinates of the point obtained if the point A=(3,7) is rotated 180 degrees about the origin?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B. (-3, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime you rotate a number 180° about the origin, the numbers in the coordinates become their opposites.

-3 is the opposite of 3 and -7 is the opposite of 7.

Therefore, your new coordinates are (-3, -7)

(x,y) becomes (-x,-y)
