If 5x + 32 =4-2x, what is the value of x ?

2 answers:

5 0

5x + 32 = 4- 2x
Add 2x to both sides to get 7x + 32 = 4
Subtract 32 from both sides to get 7x = -28
Divide both sides by 7 to get x = -4
Hope this helps :)

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to simplify.

5x + 32 = 4 - 2x
7x + 32 = 4
7x = -28

x = -4

Hope this helps!

Ber [7]

Answer:

15 more weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

425 - 125 (what shes already saved)

300 divided by 20 (amount shes saving each week)

Result is 15, so 15 more weeks.

Hope this helped :)

If you mean how many weeks total, 125 according to the 20 dollars a week would bring it 22 weeks i think.. since the answer answer is 21.2 weeks exactly when you divide 425 by 20.

Determine which of the lines are parallel and which of the lines are perpendicular. Select all of the statements that are true.

slega [8]

Answers:

Line A is parallel to line D.

Line A is perpendicular to line C.

Line C is perpendicular to line D.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line through (-1,-17) and (3,11)

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-17) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,11)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{11 - (-17)}{3 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{11 + 17}{3 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{28}{4}\\\\m = 7\\\\$

The slope of line A is 7

-------------

Now let's find the slope of line B.

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (7,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 4}{7 - 0}\\\\m = -\frac{9}{7}\\\\$

-------------

Now onto line C.

$(x_1,y_1) = (7,1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (0,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 1}{0 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{1}{-7}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{7}\\\\$

-------------

Lastly we have line D.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (1,8)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{1 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{8 + 6}{1 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{14}{2}\\\\m = 7\\\\$

------------------------------

Here's a summary of the slopes we found

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}\text{Line} & \text{Slope}\\\cline{1-2}\text{A} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\text{B} & -9/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{C} & -1/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{D} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. This fact makes Line A parallel to line D.

Lines A and C are perpendicular to one another, because the slopes 7 and -1/7 multiply to -1. In other words, -1/7 is the negative reciprocal of 7, and vice versa. These two lines form a 90 degree angle.

Lines C and D are perpendicular for the same reasoning as the previous paragraph.

Line B unfortunately is neither parallel nor perpendicular to any of the other lines mentioned.

You can use a graphing tool like Desmos or GeoGebra to verify these answers.

Is a + b rational or irrational

Crank

Answer and fdaStep-by-step explanation:::

The answer depends on the numbers that are inputted for a and b.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are rational, then a + b would be rational.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are irrational, then a + b would be irrational.

If one of the variables is rational and the other is irrational, then a + b would be irrational.

The wholesale price for a shirt is $5.50. A certain department store marks up the wholesale price by 40%. Find the price of the

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$7.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

you can solve this by using a simple rule of three.

Step 1

define

if the wholesale price for a shirt is $5.50,it is 100 percent

$5.50⇔100%

the new price(x) is 40% more than the original, it means 140%

x ⇔ 140%

the relation is

$\frac{5.5}{100}= \frac{x}{140}\\$

Step 2

solve for x(isolate x)

$\frac{5.5}{100}= \frac{x}{140}\\x=\frac{5.5*140}{100}\\x=7.7$

the price of the shirt in the department store is $7.7

Have a nice day.
