It would be the first choice, $20.
The LCD is 12. Thus, your
(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes 12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or
3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36
Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36. Combining like terms,
-x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.
Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.
Please note: You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.
Y=-(3/5)x-7is the anwser because this is the form y=mx+b where m=5/3 any line perpendicular to this given line will have the slope of -1/m so, in this case slope of perpendicular is: -1/(5/3) = -3/5 we know the y-intercept is -7, point (0, -7) so wave: <span>y = -(3/5)x - 7</span>
