3 ( 14-8) =18

B= 14

I subtracted 14-8 and i got 6, then I multiplied 3 times 6 and got 18. Therefore, 14 is a valid answer.

STEP 1) b - 8 =18/3

STEP 2) b - 8 =6

STEP 3) b = 6 + 8

STEP 4) b = 14

your answer is B=14, i showed the step-by-step work.

Find the value of the expression |2x−8| where x=−2.5; 0; 4; 5; 9.5.

Lelu [443]

The absolute value $|x|$ returns the "positive version" of a number. In other words, if $x$ is already positive, then $|x|=x$ . Otherwise, if $x$ is negative, then the absolute value changes its sign, so that it returns positive: $|x|=-x$ .

So, in this case, we have to plug the required values for $x$ in the expression $2x-8$ . Then, if the result is positive we're ok, otherwise we discard the negative sign.

We have:

$x=-2.5 \implies |2x-8| = |-5-8|=|-13|=13$

$x=0 \implies |2x-8| = |0-8|=|-8|=8$

$x=4 \implies |2x-8| = |8-8|=|0|=0$

$x=5 \implies |2x-8| = |10-8|=|2|=2$

$x=9.5 \implies |2x-8| = |19-8|=|11|=11$

Find the value of each variable.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

19. x = 65

20. x = 12

21. x = 35, y = 85

Step-by-step explanation:

19. 2x -10 = 120

2x (-10 + 10) = (120 +10)

2x/2 = 130/2

x = 65

20. 2x + 4x + 108 = 180

6x + (108 - 108) = (180 - 108)

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12

21. 2x + 25 = 3x - 10

2x + (25 - 25) = 3x (- 10 - 25)

(2x - 3x) = (3x - 3x) - 35

-x/-1 = -35/-1

x = 35

3x - 10 + y = 180

3(35) - 10 + y = 180

105 - 10 + y = 180

(95 - 95) + y = (180 - 95)

y = 85

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form ( $y = mx +b$ format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

$2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14$

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = -x + 14$ . When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the $m$ , or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as $-\frac{1}{1}$ -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
