When solving for a variable, you get the variable you're trying to solve for on one side and everything to the opposite of that variable.
We have the equation <span>5w + 9z = 2z + 3w.
Usually the variable we're solving for we want on the left. But it's fine to have it on the right side, too.
Let's subtract 9z from the left-hand side. That way, the 5w will be alone on the left-hand side.
And remember, anything we do on one side we do to the other side.
</span><span>5w + 9z - 9z = 2z + 3w - 9z
</span><span>5w = -7z + 3w
The 3w term on the right-hand side needs to be removed. So, subtract each side by 3w.
5w - 3w = -7z + 3w - 3w
2w = -7z
Now, we need to divide each side by 2 to see what the w variable is equal to.
2w / 2 = -7z / 2
w = -7z / 2 or w = -3.5z
So, w is equal to -3.5z.

Equation of the existing water pipe's line
a) slope, m = rise / run = Δy / Δx = 3/2
b) y-intercept, b = 3
equation: y = mx + b = (3/2)x + 3
Equation of the new water pipe's line
slope, m = - 1 / (slope of the perpendicular line) = - 1 / (3/2) = - 2/3
point (0,2)
=> y - 2 = (-2/3) (x - 0) => y = (-2/3)x + 2 <---- equation of the new pipe
28)
two parallel lines have the same slope =>
slope, m = rise / run = Δy / Δx = [4 - 0] / [11 - 8] = 4 / 3
point (4,5) => y - 5 = (4/3) (x - 4)
=> y = (4/3)x - 16/3 + 5 = (4/3)x - 1/3
y = (4/3)x - 1/3 <--- equation of the new bike path
If you treat multiplication as repeated a<span>ddition, then y</span>es, Juan is correct. Only equal groups can be multiplied.
It would be a i hope this helps
X=-4 cause
-2=x+2
Then -4=x
