Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of muffins in total at the beginning.

x - 5/8 x - 10 = 11

x - 5/8 x = 21

8/8 x - 5/8 x = 21

3/8 x = 21

3x = 168

x = 56

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Harman [31]

ANSWER

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

$2x + 3y = 9$

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,

$3y = - 2x + 9$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3$

The slope of this line is

$m_1 = - \frac{2}{3}$
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

$m_2$

Then
$m_1 \times m_2 = - 1$

$- \frac{2}{3} m_2= - 1$

This implies that,

$m_2 = - 1 \times - \frac{3}{2}$

$m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$

Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

$y = mx + b$

We substitute the slope to get,

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Since this line passes through
$(-2,5)$
it must satisfy its equation.

This means that,

$5= \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b$

$5 = - 3 + b$

$5 + 3 = b$

$b = 8$

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

Len [333]

The perimeter is twice the sum of the length and the width:

$P = 2(w+l)$

The area is the product of the dimensions:

$A = wl$

So, the system is

$\begin{cases}w+l=504\\w\cdot l=14276\end{cases}$

What else would need to be congruent to show that abc = xyz by asa

pochemuha

Since you're working with the ASA postulate, you're looking to show congruence of the angles at either end of a side. You're given side AC and angle A as congruent with their counterparts. Obviously, you also need to show congruence of angle C with its counterpart, angle Z.

selection B is appropriate
