Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. We can find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form, y=mx+b from standard form.

We convert by using inverse operations to isolate y.

5x+3y=7

5x-5x+3y=7-5x

0x+3y=-5x+7

3y=-5x+7

$\frac{3y}{3} =\frac{-5x+7}{3} \\y=\frac{-5}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}$ .

The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.

What is 4f - 24 + 4f = -8

Lynna [10]

Answer:

F = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4f-24+4f=-8

collect like terms

8f-24=-8

move constant to the right

8f=-8+24

calculate

8f=16

divide both sides by 8

Answer F = 2

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z. (10x - 65) (9x - 49)

nexus9112 [7]

(10x - 65) degrees is equal to (9x - 49) degrees, therefore you can set them into an equation.

(10x - 65) = (9x - 49)

By subtracting 9x in both sides,

(10x - 9x) - 65 = (9x -9x) - 49

x - 65 = -49

By adding 65 in both sides,

x - 65 + 65= -49 + 65
x = 16

Next, to find the value of z, it’s important to know that the straight line has 180 degrees. Then you would substitute the x value you found into one of your equation and subtract it from 180.

10 (16) - 65 = 160 - 65 = 95

Now you know that (10x - 65) degrees is equal to 95 degrees,

180 - 95 = z = 85

Answer: x = 16
z = 85
