5(x-2) = 30

distribute the 5 by multiplying it with what is inside the parenthesis

5x-10 = 30

add 10 to both sides:

5x = 40

divide both sides by 5

x = 40/5

x = 8

A line parallel to y=1/3 x+2

Kamila [148]

Answer:

y = 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the form y = mx + b, all you need to create a parallel line is to have the same slope. So, we can just disregard b and write an equation with a slope of 1/3. You can add or subtract any number to that if you want.

Leona [35]

Answer:Force=30N

Step-by-step explanation:Torque of a force on the handle= Torque of weight on the axle.

Torque is the magnitude force that acts perpendicular.

3.5 ×180=21×Force

Force= 3.5×180 /21

Force=630/21

Force=30N
