Answer:
2 1/3 cups for each hiker
Step-by-step explanation:
8bags x 3.5 cups in each bag =28 cups in total
28 cups shared among 12 hikers = 28/12 = 2 1/3 cups for each hiker
First, you set your problem up like this:
-4x+3=2x-6
add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:
-4x+9=2x
add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:
9=6x
divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:
1.5=x
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
y= -2x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).
Let's find the gradient of the given line.

Gradient of given line




The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.
(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular bisector
= -1 ÷(½)
= -1(2)
= -2
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

Midpoint of given line



Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:
-2= -2(-3) +c
-2= 6 +c
c= -2 -6 <em>(</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>on both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
c= -8
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.
