162 plants, if 60% of the plants live you can set it up like this: 60/100 = X/270, to find X, you cross multiply and divide by 100
if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore,
has a slope of -2.
now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.

If you want to solve this problem using formulas, there are two important formulas:
t1 = first term = -5
tn = nth term = last term = -5
n = numbr of terms
Sn = sum of the n terms
tn = t1 + (n - 1)d ---> 65 = -5 + (n - 1)(5)
65 = -5 + 5n - 5
65 = -10 + 5n
75 = 5n
n = 15
Sn = n(t1 + tn)/2 ---> Sn = 15(-5 + 65)/2
Sn = 450
So ur answer rounds up to 450

<u>Answer:</u>
Below!
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>The best way to answer this question is to read the statement carefully.</u>
- => Five less than twice a number = 2x - 5
- => Five times the sum of two numbers = 5(x + y)
- => The difference of 5 and a number, squared = (5 - x)²
Hoped this helped.

Answer:
that is step 1 and step 2 and step3
step 4
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
(−4)(x)+(−4)(2)=8x+16(Distribute)
−4x+−8=8x+16
−4x−8=8x+16
Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.
−4x−8−8x=8x+16−8x
−12x−8=16
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−12x−8+8=16+8
−12x=24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
−12x
−12
=
24
−12
x=−2
Answer:
x=−2
