Find an equation of the line through (3,7) and parallel to y=3x-1
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

y = 3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel, that means it has the same slope. The given equation had a slope of 3, so the new line must also have a slope of 3.

You can plug the given coordinates into the slope-intercept form with a slope of 3 to find your answer.

y = m*x + b

7 = 3*3 + b

7 = 9 + b

-2 = b

y = 3x -2

1.5/4x-1 = 0.4/x+4 find x
vitfil [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5/4x-1=0.4/x+4

We move all terms to the left:

1.5/4x-1-(0.4/x+4)=0

Domain of the equation: 4x!=0

x!=0/4

x!=0

x∈R

Domain of the equation: x+4)!=0

x∈R

We get rid of parentheses

1.5/4x-0.4/x-4-1=0

We calculate fractions

(1.5x)/4x^2+(-0.4*4x)/4x^2-4-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+1.5x)/4x^2+(-0.4*4x)/4x^2-4-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+1.5x)/4x^2+(-0.4*4x)/4x^2-5=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

(+1.5x)+(-0.4*4x)-5*4x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-20x^2+(+1.5x)+(-0.4*4x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-20x^2+1.5x-0.4*4x=0

Which terms could have a greatest common factor of 5m2n2? Check all that apply.
leva [86]

Answer : 5m^4n^3  and 15m^2n^2

Greatest common factor of  5m^2n^2

If we are able to factor out 5m^2n^2 from each option then that would be our answer.

Lets check with each options

(a)m^5n^5, we cannot take out 5.

(b)5m^4n^3, We can take out common factor and it can be written as 5m^4n^3=5m^2n^2(m^2n)

(c) 10m^4n, we cannot take out n^2 because we have only 'n'

(d) 15m^2n^2, We can take out common factor and it can be written as 15m^2n^2=5m^2n^2(3)

(e) 24m^3n^4, we  cannot take out 5 because we have 24

So answer is (b)  and (d)
