Plug (-2,1) into -3x+y=5. This will make it -3(-2)+(1)=5. This is equal to 6+1=5. 7=5. 7 is not equal to 5. Therefore, (-2,1) is not a solution to the equation -3x+y=5.

(1/27)^x-6=27 Could I please have a step by step as well? Much appreciated!

Answer:

$x = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

$\frac{1}{ {27}^{x - 8} } = 27$

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

$1 = {27} \times 27^{1 + x - 8}$

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

$1 = {27}^{1 + x - 8}$

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

$1 = {27}^{x - 7}$

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if logb (x) = a.

$log_{27}1 = x - 7$

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

$\frac{ log_1 }{ log{27} } = x - 7$

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

$\frac{0}{ log_{27}} = x - 7$

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

$0 = x - 7$

9) Add 7 to both sides.

$7 = x$

10) Switch sides.

$x = 7$

Therefor, the answer is x = 7.

A storm moves at a rate of 8 miles per hour. It is 200 miles away from Freeport and headed directly for this town. The equation

Eduardwww [97]

Pls see answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, our slope is -8. This means that every hour, the storm is getting closer to the town by 8 miles per hour.

Our y-intercept is 200, which means that its' initial position is 200 miles away from the town.

Hope this helped.
