Answer:
0.45 m, 0.63 m, 0.72 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three parts of the line be 5x, 7x and 8x
Therefore,
5x + 7x + 8x = 1.8
20x = 1.8
x = 1.8/20
x = 0.09
5x = 5*0.09 = 0.45 m
7x = 7*0.09 = 0.63 m
8x = 8*0.09 = 0.72 m
8.2 is 10% of 82
As 8.2 * 10 is 82.
Answer:
(-2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that your system is
y = -4x - 3
y = -2x + 1
Multiplying the second equation by -2 results in
y = -4x - 3
-2y = 4x - 2
combining these two equations eliminates x temporarily:
-y = -5, so that y must be 5.
Substituting 5 for y in the second equation, we get:
5 = -2x + 1, or
4 = -2x, which results in x = -2
and so the solution is (-2, 5)
Multiply both sides by any number you want. I'll pick 2
x = -3 turns into 2x = -6 after doing so
--------------------------
Add anything you want to both sides. I'll pick 7
x = -3 turns into x+7 = 4 after doing so
---------------------------
you can do a combination of both multiplication and addition, as long as you do the same thing to both sides. First I'll do multiplication. I'm going to multiply both sides by 2 first
x = -3 turns into 2x = -6
then I'm going to add 7 to both sides
2x = -6 turns into 2x+7 = 1
If you were to solve 2x+7 = -1, then you'd get to x = -3 again
As a check, replace x with -3 and we have...
2x+7 = 1
2(-3)+7 = 1
-6+7 = 1
1 = 1
we get a true statement, which helps confirm we have the right equation.
