Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has a slope of 4/5 and contains the point (−5, −3).
ankoles [38]

y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Since you are not given the y-intercept, you have to solve for it through the equation, y = (4/5)x (which is the slope you are given) + b, and replace x and y with values given, which are (-5,-3)

y = (4/5)x + b

-3 = (4/5)(-5) + b

-3 = -4 + b

1 = b


Then replace b in the first equation to get the answer

y = (4/5)x + 1

Solve the system of equations – 2x + y = –8 and 4x– 6y = –24 by combining<br> the equations.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4x + y = 4 (1)

2x + 6y = 24 (2)

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

4x + y = 4 (1)

−4x − 12y = −48 (3)

Variable x can be eliminated by adding the equations

4x + (-4x) + y + (-12y) = 4 + (-48)

4x - 4x + y - 12y = 4 - 48

0 - 11y = -44

-11y = -44

Divide both sides by -11

y = -44/-11

= 4
