PLEASE HELP!! Why do we multiply equations by -1? For example, if you need to re-arrange 2x + y = 3 into the form of (y=mx+b)...

I got y = 3 - 2x but the answer is 2x - 3 (it is multiplied by one.)

The thing is you need to get the equation equal to y so you need to add or substrate any number that is with y.but I don't think that's right.because I got this.

Together two ferries can transport a day's cargo in 7 hours. The larger ferry can transport cargo three times faster than the sm
Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.

Surface Area of Cylinders - Item 1175
mylen [45]

The surface area is 47.1 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The height (h) of the coin (cylinder shaped) = 5 inches

The radius (r) = 1.5 inches

To find the surface area of the coin.

We need to find the lateral surface area of the coin.

Formula

The surface area of the coin of radius r and height h is 2πrh.

Now,

Putting the value of h and r and π=3.14 we get,

Area = 2×3.14×1.5×5 sq inches

= 47.1 sq in

Hence, the surface area is 47.1 sq in.

(5,1); m=2 write an equation of the line
gtnhenbr [62]
Hey there! :) 

To find an equation of a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of 2, we'll need to plug our known variables into the slope-intercept equation.

Slope-intercept equation : y = mx + b ; where m=slope, b=y-intercept

Since we're already given the slope, all we really need to do is find the y-intercept.

We can do this by plugging our known values into the slope-intercept equation.

y = mx + b

Since we're trying to find "b," we need to plug in "y, m, x" into our formula.

(1) = (2)(5) + b

Simplify.

1 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides.

1 - 10 = b

Simplify.

-9 = b

So, our y-intercept is 9! 

Now, we can very simply plug our known values into slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 2x - 9 → final answer

~Hope I helped!~
