X=3; you can set up a proportion using the slope equation. So (y[sub2]-y[sub1])/(x[sub2]-x[sub1])=2/1 then plug in the values and simplify. Then cross multiply and solve for x. Rest of work shown in the picture

Answer:

x =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 7, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 3, x), then

m = \frac{x+5}{-3+7} ← equate to 2, that is

\frac{x+5}{4} = 2 ( multiply both sides by 4

x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 3

Free fall reaches 216km per hour. What is rate in meters per second.? How many meters fall during 20 seconds free fall?
lakkis [162]

Given,

Rate of free fall = 216 km/h

Solution,

km/h to m/s is converted as follows :

216\ \dfrac{km}{h}=216\times \dfrac{1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\=60\ m/s

So, the rate of fall is 60 m/s.

If t = 20 s

Assume, initial velocity = 0

It will move under the action of gravity.

Using equation of motion,

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 20^2\\\\h=2000\ m

Hence, this is all for the solution.

What is the correct simplified version of the expression 32x + 8 - 34x?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  -2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms involving x are "like" terms, so their coefficients are added when the terms are combined.

  = 32x -34x +8

  = (32 -34)x +8 . . . . . x is factored out according to the distributive property

  = -2x +8

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with radius 7 cm.
aniked [119]

Answer:

C=14pi cm

A=49pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Circumference of a circle is 2piR and R=7cm

C=2pi(7)

C=14pi cm

2) Area of a circle is piR^2 and R=7cm

A=pi (7)^2

A=49pi cm^2
