x+142 =3x+64
subtract x from each side
142 = 2x+64
subtract 64 from each side
142-64 = 2x
78=2x
divide by 2
78/2 = x
x=39
The number is 39
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
7x+4y=3
4y = - 7x + 3
y = -7x/4 + 3/4
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = -7/4
If the line passing through the given point is perpendicular to the given line, it means that its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (6,-9) is 4/7
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 4/7, x = 6 and y = -9 into y = mx + c. It becomes
- 9 = 4/7×6 + c = 24/7 + c
c = - 9 - 24/7 = -87/7
The equation becomes
y = 4x/7 - 87/7
The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

The complete question is added as an attachment
From the attached image, we have:
Length = 12 - 2x
Width = 7 - 2x
Height = x
The volume is calculated as:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x
This gives
Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

If the line is perpendicular the slope is the reciprocal so it would be
Y=-1/3x
Then if the line has to go through the point (-2,5) the y-intercept must be 5 making the answer
Y=-1/3x+5
