Answer:

4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x-5) - (3x-2)

aka

(7x-5)  -1 (3x-2)

first distribute the -1 into (3x-2)

-3x+2

so

(7x-5)+ -3x+2

next combine like terms

7x-3x=4x

so

4x-5+2

then

-5+2=-3

so

4x-3 would be your simplified equation

How to find the slope of a line on a coordinate plane?
zysi [14]
The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical travel to horizontal travel, whether on a coordinate plane or in the real world. It can be positive or negative.

On an x-y plane, to find the slope of a line you would identify the coordiates of two points on the line, then form the ratio
  slope = (difference of y-coordinates)/(difference of corresponding x-coordinates)

Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is computed as
  slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


The points can be used in the computation in either order and the result will be the same. It is often convenient to have x2 > x1, so the denominator is positive. This can reduce errors in the arithmetic, but it is not required.

If the line is a vertical line, so that all x-values are the same, the slope is said to be "undefined."

On a conventionally drawn coordinate plane, a line with positive slope will go up to the right (/); a line with negative slope will go down to the right (\).

Terrel lives 2 5/6 blocks away from his best friends house. His school is 4 1/3 blocks away in the same direction. If he stops a
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

5/8 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from Post Office to Friend's house =D

7/8 + 5/6 + D =miles - Total distance from Georgia's house to a Friend's house.

42 minutes / 18 minutes per mile =2 1/3 miles - total distance from her house to a friend's house. So, we have:

7/8 + 5/6 + D = 2 1/3, solve for D

[21 + 20] / 24 + D = 2 1/3

41/24 + D = 2 1/3                     subtract 41/24 from both sides

D =2 1/3 - 41/24

D =7/3 - 41/24

D =[56 -41] / 24

D = 15 / 24

D = 5/8 of a mile - the distance between the School and her Friend's house.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference is equal to pi times diameter. If you divide both sides of the equation by pi you get diameter of the Big Ben clock. If you divide diameter by 2 you get radius.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

√(r+n)/5=m

Step-by-step explanation:

r=5m²-n

adding n on both sides

r+n=5m²-n+n

r+n/5=m²

taking square root on both sides

√(r+n)/5=m
