Answer:

y=-5/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the line 5x+4y=24 and we want to find the line parallel to it that passes through (8,-5)

Parallel lines have the same slopes

First, we need to find the slope of 5x+4y=24.

We'll do that by converting 5x+4y=24 from standard form (ax+by=c where a, b, and c are integers) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

subtract 5x from both sides

4y=-5x+24

divide by 4 on both sides

y=-5/4x+6

since -5/4 is in the place where m should be, it is the slope.

So the equation of the line parallel to it will also have -5/4 as the slope

Here's the equation so far in slope-intercept form:

y=-5/4x+b

we need to find b

because the equation will pass through (8,-5), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 8 as x and -5 as y

-5=-5/4(8)+b

multiply

-5=-10+b

add 10 to both sides

5=b

substitute 5 as b into the equation

y=-5/4x+5

That's the equation of the line parallel to 5x+4y=24.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalize the denominator of b. So, multiply the numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{x}$

$b = \frac{(1-2\sqrt{x}) *\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}*\sqrt{x} }=\frac{1*\sqrt{x} -2\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} }{\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} }\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}\\$

Now, find a +b

$a +b = \frac{2x+\sqrt{x} }{x}+\frac{\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}\\\\=\frac{2x+\sqrt{x} +\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}$

Combine like terms

$= \frac{2x-2x+\sqrt{x} +\sqrt{x} }{x}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{x} }{x}$

Now find (a + b)²

(a +b)² = $(\frac{2\sqrt{x} }{x})^{2}$

$= \frac{2^{2}*(\sqrt{x} )^{2}}{x^{2}}\\\\= \frac{4* x}{x^{2}}\\\\= \frac{4}{x}$

Hint: $\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} =\sqrt{x*x}=x$

Solve using elimination 5x+7y=9 2x-3y=-37

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

x = -8

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 7y = 9

2x - 3y = -37

1.) First, multiply each side to match either y-values or x-values. (In this example, we'll use match x-values)

10x + 14y = 18 (multiplied by 2)

10x - 15y = -185 (multiplied by 5)

2.) Then, subtract the entirety of one equation to isolate the y-value.

10x + 14y = 18

-10x + 15y = 185

3.) Add and subtract values and divide to find y.

29y = 203

y = 7

4.) Plug-in y to solve for x into one equation, or repeat steps 1-3.

15x + 21y = 27

14x - 21y = -259

29x = -232

x = -8

3x-6y=9 x=2y+3 SOMEONE HELP ME SOLVE THIS STEP BY STEP TY

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

0=0

infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

plug x=2y+3 as x into 3x-6y=9...so

3(2y+3)-6y=9, which has our x=2y+3 plugged in because that is what x equals

if you solve its

6y+9-6y=9

0y=0

y=0

making it 0=0

you can't go further from this
