Answer:
y = - 3x + 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (7, 0 ) into the partial equation
0 = - 21 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 21 = 21
y = - 3x + 21 ← equation of parallel line
Answer:
x = 8, and y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 variables, so you need 2 equations to form a system of equations in two variables.
The upper left triangle has all angle measures given: 100, 2x + y, 5x + y. We know that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
First equation:
100 + 2x + y + 5x + y = 180
Simplify:
7x + 2y = 80 (First equation)
Now we see that the upper and lower sides are parallel, so alternate interior angles are congruent. The angles measuring 2x + y and 5x - y are alternate interior angles and are congruent.
Second equation:
2x + y = 5x - y
Simplify:
3x - 2y = 0 (Second equation)
Now we use the first equation and the second equation as a system of simultaneous equations to solve for x and y.
7x + 2y = 80
3x - 2y = 0
Solve the second equation for 2x.
3x = 2y
Now replace 2y in the first equation with 3x.
7x + 3x = 80
10x = 80
x = 8
Replace x with 8 in the second equation.
3(8) - 2x = 0
24 = 2x
x = 12
Answer: x = 8, and y = 12
Im not entirely sure what you are looking for, but if you are trying to find out how much he has left, you would take 625,000-259,000=366,000
He would have $366,000 left from his retirement.
Hope this helps! :)
