Write a linear equation in one variable for each of the following situations:
1 answer:
Answer:
i. y = 4
ii. p = 45
iii. m = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) In triangle PQR, PQ = QR. So that,
Perimeter = PQ + PR + QR
40 = (2y + 3) + (5y - 2) + (2y + 3)
= 2y + 3 + 5y - 2 + 2y + 3
40 = 9y + 4
40 - 4 = 9y
36 = 9y
y =
y = 4
(b) The age of Rahim's father is p years. Since he is 29 years older than Rahim, we have;
p = 16 + 29
p = 45
Rahim's father is 45 years old.
(c) Cost of a chair = RM 5.90
Cost of m chairs = RM 5.90 x m
= RM 5.90m
Amount paid = RM 50 - RM 20.50
= RM 29.50
Thus,
RM 5.90m = RM 29.50
5.90m = 29.50
m =
= 5
m = 5
The number of units of chairs bought is 5.

Answer:
y=4/3+19/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When it asks for perpendicular it means your focusing on the slope.
Perpendicular means opposite of the current slope, so flip it and change the sign (-3/4 changes to 4/3). Next you will use the equation (y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y1=the y value given
x1=the x value given
m=your slope
(y-1)=4/3(x+4) Since the x point is minus a negative we get to change the sign to a positive. Next distribute the 4/3 to each term in the parenthesis.
y-1=4/3(x)+4/3(4)
y-1=4/3x+16/3 Now we add the one to both sides.
+1 +1 The one isn't in teh correct format to just add so first imagine it as 1/1. Now to get the bottom to have a 3 like in 16/3 we just multiply the top and bottom by 3.
Now we can add this to the 16/3
We can now put this back into our equation.
y=4/3+19/3
