Answer:

  x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easier to solve the equation, which requires 1 operation. Substituting 3 numbers requires 3 operations, so is 3 times the work. (I'm basically lazy.)

  4x = 256 . . . . given

  x = 256/4 = 64 . . . . the last of the listed values

__

Alternatively, you can let a graphing calculator or spreadsheet try the list of values for you. That result is attached.

_____

Since you know the rules of signed multiplication, you know that x must be positive. Only one answer choice is positive, so you really only need to try one number.

  4(64) = 256 . . . . true, so x = 64

What it the angle measure ?
OLga [1]
∠V= 90°
So, 63°+90°+___=180°
27° will be the number in the blank.
Finally, 90°+27°= 117°

In short, the answer would be: ∠RVP= 117°

Hope this answer helps! Good luck :)

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (3, -1) and (-1, 5)? y = -3/2x+7/2 2y = -3x + 7 2
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first use the slope formula with the two point to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5 - -1)/(-1 - 3)

m = 6/-4

m = -3/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = -3/2(x - 3)

y + 1 = -3/2x + 9/2

y = -3/2x + 7/2

One eighth of a number is ten less than one third of the number. Find the number.
GarryVolchara [31]
X/8 - 10 = x/3

bring the values with the variable on one side

x/3 - x/8 = 10

find a common denominator and subtract these fractions

8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10

now subtract fractions

8x - 3x = 5x

5x/24 = -10

multiply both sides by 24

5x = -240

divide both sides by 5

x = -48

the number is -48

Solve for y. -3/y=6 Simplify your answer as much as possible.
Molodets [167]
Solving for "y" means that we need to get y to be on one side of the equation. It should look like y= something. To get the y by itself, we need to get rid of that -3. To do that, we'll have to divide by -3 (because even though there's a y being divided, the -3 is still the numerator). 6/-3 is -1/2. Therefore your answer is y=-1/2
