21/2 is what you should get if you divide those two
First step you should do is s<span>implify both sides of your equation:
</span>29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
<span>Combine Like Terms:
</span>(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
<span>Subtract 6x from both sides:
</span>-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
<span>Subtract 21 from both sides:
</span>-7x+21-21=-7-21
-7x=-28
<span>Divide both sides by -7:
</span>-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4

Good luck~ Sans
The perpendicular equation would include a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.
Steps:
1. Get x to the other side in the original equation. This making the slope -4 or -4/1.
2. Turn the slope into it’s opposite reciprocal m = 1/4.
3. If you use point-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1 ), you can substitute y1 and x1 with the numbers in the point given. But since we previously found the opposite reciprocal, we will replace “m” as well. *By the way, the subtraction of a negative makes a positive. [y + 3 = 1/4( x + 4 )]
4. Solve:
A: Distribute (y + 3 = 1/4x + 1)
B: Subtract 3 from both sides (y = 1/4x -2)
Perpendicular Equation: y = 1/4x - 2
<u>Answer:</u>
Swati - 465 , Matt - 289
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let Swati's score be x and Matt's score be y.
Since Swati won the game her score is obviously higher.
We are given the sum and difference between their scores which we can write as , x + y = 754 and x - y = 176.
Solving these two equations by adding them we get 2x = 930 so x = 465. Substituting x in x - y = 176 we get y = 289
Thus Swati scored 465 points and Matt scored 289 points.
