Answer:

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$ $=$ $\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$

Required

Solve

Express 3 as a fraction

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - \frac{3}{1}$

Take LCM

$\frac{x - 4 - 3(2x + 1)}{3x + 1}$

$\frac{x - 4 - 6x - 3}{3x + 1}$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{x - 6x- 4 - 3}{3x + 1}$

Simplify like terms

$\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Hence:

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$ $=$ $\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Complete the equation of the line through (1,4)(1,4)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 4, right parenthesis and (2,2)(2,2)left parenthe

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$y = -2x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,2)$

Required

Determine the line equation

First, we calculate the slope (m) using

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{2-4}{2-1}\\$

$m = \frac{-2}{1}$

$m = -2$

The equation is then calculated using:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$y - 4 = -2(x - 1)$

Open bracket

$y - 4 = -2x + 2$

$y = -2x + 2 + 4$

$y = -2x + 6$

The points (10,14) and (35,49) form a proportional relationship. Find the slope of the line through the points. Then use t

Readme [11.4K]

The slope is 7/5 and the equation of the line is 5y - 7x = 0 if the points (10,14) and (35,49) form a proportional relationship.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the above formula, we can find the slope of the line:

m = (49-14)/(35-10)

m = 35/25

m = 7/5

The equation will be:

y = 7x/5 + c

here c is the y-intercept

Plug (10, 14) in the equation to find the value of c

14 = 7(10)/5 + c

c = 0

y = 7x/5 or

5y - 7x = 0

Thus, the slope is 7/5 and the equation of the line is 5y - 7x = 0 if the points (10,14) and (35,49) form a proportional relationship.

If a person can walk with an average speed of 5 meters/second, how far will they walk in 8 minutes?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

2,400

Step-by-step explanation: If a person can walk 5 meters per second and there are 60 seconds in a minute then you would multiply 5 by 60 and get 300. Then you multiply that by 8 and get 2,400.
