Well the math comes out to 1102.31 pounds thats a bit unrealistic but i'm fairly sure i converted correctly.
Take your original equation 
and multiply both sides by 
to remove the fractions. You are left with
So,
Update: There is no numerical answer that can be found without being given a value for either x or y
The bottom answer is correct. I had some trouble with this so I had to find x and y in separate parts.
TO FIND X
notice that the top triangle and bottom triangles are similar, meaning if you multiple all three sides of one by a specific number, it becomes the same size as the bottom triangle.
17 x n = 8, therefore n=8/17
8 x n = X, therefore X=64/17
For some reason, this does not give a correct value for Y, so I had to use trig
TO FIND Y
Notice that the angle DAB is the same as DBC (lets call this angle Ø)
Using trig rule, we know that the cos of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuses.
We can now form some equations:
cosØ = 15/17 (from the top triangle)
cosØ = 8/Y (from bottom triangle)
Now we know that Y=(8x17)/15 = 136/15
X=64/15 Y=136/15
Answer:
Exact Form:
x=−18x=-18
Decimal Form:
x=−0.125x=-0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms not containing xx to the right side of the equation
Answer:
it would be Y= -2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin, we know that the b value is 4, because that is the x-intercept that is information given, so we can atomatically put that in.
Next we need to find the m value, which can be found by knowing the rules of a perpendicular eqution. to change it you must change the 1/2 and flip the equation and change the signs
soooooo 1/2 would change into 2/1 which is 2 and we would addd the negative sign so
Y=-2x+4
