N = the number

1/2n = n - 8....multiply by common denominator of 2 to get rid of fraction
n = 2n - 16
n - 2n = -16
-n = -16
n = 16 <==

Find the equation of the line given the following
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

1. y = -10x + 6

2. y = -x - 6

3. y = 13x + 110

4. y = -5x + 47

5. y = 7/4 x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2. m = - 1 and Y-intercept: -20 - (- 1)(14) = -6

3. m = 13 and Y-intercept: -7 - (13)(- 9) = 110

4. (10,-3) and (7,12)

Slope = (12 - - 3)(7- 10) = 15/-3 = -5

y- intercept = 12 - (-5)(7) = 47

5. (4,0) and (0, -7)

Slope: (-7-0)/(0-4) = -7/-4 = 7/4

y-intercept: -7 - 7/4)(0) = -7

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of (0,3 write the equation in slope-intercept form
xenn [34]

Answer:

y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line is y = mx + b.

  • y = y-coordinate
  • m = slope
  • x = x-coordinate
  • b = y-intercept

2. Since we're given the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is 3, we just plug in those values to their corresponding variable:

  • y = 5x + 3

The perimeter of a rectangular house is 122fr the width is 5ft less than the length find the length and width
Step2247 [10]
Hello,

Let's w the width , l the length, p the perimeter.

w=l-5
p=2(l+w)=2(l+l-5)=4l-10

4l-10=122
==>4l=122+10
==>4l=132
==>l=132/4
==>l=33
So w=33-5=28

Proof:
2*(33+28)=2*61=122
