Answer:

Kelsey is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the rules when solving an equation is that you need to isolate the variable, meaning that it just needs to be x by itself. To do that, you would need to start by subtracting 6. If you were to divide by 3 first, the answer would be twice what it should be.

In a group of 40 people, 27 can speak English and 25 can speak Spanish. How many can speak
Svetradugi [14.3K]

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Information \: provided \:  with  \: us }}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ In a group of 40 people, 27 can speak English and 25 can speak Spanish.

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{What \: we \:  have  \: to \: find ? }}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ The required number of people who can speak both English and Spanish .

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Assumption}}}}}\: \bigstar}

<u>Consider</u> ,

➻ A → Set of people who speak English.

➻ B → Set of people who speak Spanish

➻ A∩B → Set of people who can speak both English and Spanish

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Given}}}}}\: \bigstar}

  • ➻ n (A) = 27

  • ➻ n (B) = 25

  • ➻ n (A∪B) = 40

  • ➻ n(A∩B) = ?

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Now}}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)

➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - n (A∩B)

➻ 40 = 52 - n (A∩B)

➻ n (A∩B) = 52 - 40

➻ ∴ n (A∩B) = 12

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Therefore}}}}}\: \bigstar}

∴ Required Number of persons who can speak both English and Spanish are <u>12 .</u>

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Verification}}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)

➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - 12

➻ 40 = 52 - 12

➻ 40 = 40

➻ ∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

What is the equation in slope intercept form?
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1/3. For lines to be perpendicular there product must equal negative 1

m1(m2)=-1

-m/3=-1

m=3

So we know our line has a slope of three so

y=3x+b, we can solve for the y intercept, b, using point (-2,8)

8=3(-2)+b

8=-6+b

b=14, so our line is

y=3x+14
