Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
Answer:
y= -2x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope-intercept form:</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
Given that the y-intercept is 2, c= 2.
Substitute c=2 into the equation:
y= -2x +2
