Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a number" = x

44 = 8x - 4

Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 4 to both sides:

44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)

44 + 4 = 8x

48 = 8x

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:

(48)/8 = (8x)/8

x = 48/8

x = 6

6 is your answer.

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. y-4=5/2(x+3) ; (-7

faltersainse [42]

The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.

The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.
