6/x=27
times both sides by x
6=27x
divide both sides by 27
6/27=x
2/9=x
the missing number is 2/9
Equations:
2x+105=-3x+130
<em>subtract</em><em> </em><em>2x</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em>
<em>105</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-5x</em><em>+</em><em>130</em>
<em>Subtract</em><em> </em><em>130</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em>
<em>-5x</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-25</em>
<em>isolate</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>variable</em>
<em>x</em><em>=</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

Answer:
y = -1/2x + 13/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line will be a negative reciprocal. When you rewrite 2x-7=8 into slope-intercept form, you get y=2x-8. The negative reciprocal of the slope 2x is -1/2x. There is only one option with this slope. If you're still not sure then you can use a graphing calculator to check this. An online one would be desmos
