Answer:
x = 29
Step-by-step explanation:






It is substitution. Because you are substituting 3=y into x+5=3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The billiard cue is 15 cm away from the table</u>
- This refers to coordinates of (15, 0)
<u>The billiard cue touches the table at a point 60 cm off the ground</u>
- This refers to coordinates of (0, 60)
<u>The slope is as per slope formula;</u>
- m = (60 - 0)/(0-15) = 60/ -15 = -4
Thea answer is -4
To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.
