Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we create the equation.

Let x = the unknown number

7x-1 = 5x - 8

Add 8 to both sides

7x + 7 = 5x

Subtract 7x

7 = -2x

Divide by 2

-7/2 = x

-3.5 = x

7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2

The number is most likely -7/2

If p∨q is true, then what must be true about the truth values of p and q?
kiruha [24]
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of "If it is raining then the grass is wet" is "If the grass is not wet then it is not raining." Note: As in the example, the contrapositive<span> of any true proposition is also true.

Therefore, the answer would be:

</span><span>If I don't spend money, then I don't have it.</span>

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-5,2) and (9,0)
V125BC [204]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given </em><em>points </em>

<em>(</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>(</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>)</em>

<em>First </em><em>calculating </em><em>slope(</em><em>m</em><em>)</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>y2 </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y1</em><em>) </em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x2 </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x1</em><em>) </em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>+</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>4</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>7</em>

<em>Now </em><em>The </em><em>equation </em><em>of </em><em>line </em><em>is </em><em>given </em><em>by </em>

<em>y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y1 </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x1) </em>

<em>y </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>7</em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>(</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>7y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em>5</em>

Why is (3,4),(5,10),(3,12) not a function
jasenka [17]
A function has a property such as "one input must be mapped to exactly one output." An input is the x-value, and the output is, generally, the y-value. In this set of points above, the input 3 maps to 4 <em>and </em>12, and therefore is not a function.

Please help thank you

The absolute value of y is further from 0.

Explanation:
The absolute value of any number is a positive. If the value of y is greater than x, then y would be further. Let’s input a number as an example. Let’s say that the absolute value of y was 9 and the absolute value of x is 4 due to the y value being larger. 4 is closer to 0 compared to 9 so the absolute value of y is further from 0.
