Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

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

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

What is the first step you will use to solve this equation:

Verizon [17]

Subtract 4x from both sides

4x +2 = 7x - 13 would then simplify to

3x - 13 = 2 ( you can switch the problem around as long as you dont switch the variables around )

then you have to + 13 which simplifies to

3x = 15

then you divide by 3 which equals

x=5

3³+1x9+12 answer please, I really think it's 48.

UNO [17]

Answer:

You are correct the answer is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin solving this question you would want to start simplifying it to make it more understandable.

3^3 is 27 which now gives you 27 + 1 x 9 +12 which makes it easier to solve.

Then you would take 1 x 9 = 9 (multiply left to right)

Now it is simple addition

27 + 9 + 12 = 48

Hopefully this helps.

If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 5, find x when y = 42.

Lorico [155]

Answer: 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

varies directly means: $\frac{y}{x} = k$

Step 1: solve for k ⇒ $\frac{21}{5} = k$

Step 2: plug in the given value and k to solve for the missing value: $\frac{42}{x} = \frac{21}{5}$

42(5) = 21(x)

$\frac{42(5)}{21} = \frac{21(x)}{21}$

2(5) = x

10 = x

Find x so that (x,-14) is a solution to 2x+3y=12

Monica [59]

Answer:

27

Question:

Find $x$ so that $(x,-14)$ is a solution to $2x+3y=12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to replace $y$ with -14 and solve for $x$ in the equation:

$2x+3y=12$ .

$2x+3y=12$ with $y=-14$ :

$2x+3(-14)=12$

$2x-42=12$

Add 42 on both sides:

$2x=54$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x=27$ .

So the $x$ -coordinate that corresponding to $y=-14$ is $27$ .

Verify that:

$(27,-14)$ is a point satisfying $2x+3y=12$ .

Replace $x$ with 27 and $y$ with -14:

$2(27)+3(-14)=12$

$54+-42=12$

$12=12$ is true so our work must be right.
