Answer:

x = 60.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number

x - 54%x = 28

x - 0.54x = 28

0.46x = 28

Divide both sides by 0.46(coefficient of x)

x = 28/0.46

x = 60.86

to the nearest tenth

x = 60.9

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the<br> graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2?)
Advocard [28]

The slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line?</h3>

given that the equation is 5x - 3y = 2.

now write the equation in standard form y = mx + b

then -3y = 2 - 5x

y = -2/3 + 5x/3

y = 5/3x - 2/3

m 1*m 2 = - 1 is the formula for the slopes from a pair of perpendicular lines. where the slopes of the lines are m 1 and m 2.

Here m1 = 5/3 and m2 = -3/5.

Hence,the slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

Can someone please help me <br> Step-by-step explanation please
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+BC>AC

2x + 3 + x + 1 > x + 10

we correct like terms

2x + x + 3 + 1> x+ 10

3x + 4> x + 10

3x - x > 10-4

2x > 6

divide both sides by 2

2x÷2 > 6÷2

x = 3

From a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour, to determine how many hours they will be 54 miles apart, the following calculation must be performed :

54 / (11 + 7) = X

54/18 = X

3 = X

Therefore, both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.

Pick a number: 5
Add 7: 5+7=12
Triple the result: 12*12*12=1728
Add 9= 1728+9=1737
Divide by 3 = 1737/3=579
Subtract original number = 579-5=574
