Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation

since we are looking for the value of x,we have to make it the subject of the formula(stand alone).

Therefore,-6 would cross over the equality sign and it would become =6.

NOTE:when a negative number crosses the equality sign,it becomes a positive number.

This implies that x= -1+6

NOTE:when you come across - + +(minus plus plus),u would have to minus.

and to know the sign that would be at the front of the answer,just take a look at the sign the bigger number holds.At this point it is plus.

Therefore,x= -1 +6

x=5(u could have stated it was +5 but it isnt necessary since there is an invisible plus sign at the front of a number as long as minus is not there

Let line A be the graph of 5x + 8y = -9. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point (10,10). If line B is th
frozen [14]
Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b

<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8

The slope of line A is -5/8.

If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then

slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5

So like B has the equation

y = (8/5)x + b

If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6

So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6

m = 8/5 and b = -6

so

m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5

So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

a flat for sale sign has a perimeter of 58 inches. the length is 5 inches longer than the width. what is the width?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information that is needed to solve the problem;

The formula for the perimeter is:

2(a+b) = P

where "a" is the length and "b" is the width.

2. Solving the problem;

Substitute the given values into the formula;

2( 5 + b ) = 58

Inverse operations;

2 ( 5 + b ) = 58

/2               /2

5 + b = 29

-5        -5

b = 25

Use the discriminate to determine the number and the nature of the solutions of the giving equation.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2+12x=7

We need to subtract 7 to get it in the proper form

4x^2+12x-7=7-7

4x^2+12x-7=0

The discriminant is b^2 -4ac

when the equation is ax^2 +bx+c

so a =4   b=12 and c=-7

(12)^2 - 4(4)(-7)

144 +112

256

If b^2 -4ac > 0 we have 2 real distinct roots

If b^2 -4ac = 0 we have one real root

If b^2 -4ac < 0 we have two complex root

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots
