Answer:...
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a line is y=mx+b
m is the slope, so when a line is perpendicular to another line is has a slope which is an opposite reciprocal, so change the -1/2 (the slope of the other line) to 2/1 or just 2
so m=2
now you need to plug in the point they give you for x and y
y=mx+b
4=2(4) + b
simplify
4=8 + b
subtract 8 over
-4 = b
now that you know that slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) you can plug those two numbers into the original equation for the answer
y= 2x -4
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3x + (8x + 15) = 180
Reorder the terms:
3x + (15 + 8x) = 180
Remove parenthesis around (15 + 8x)
3x + 15 + 8x = 180
Reorder the terms:
15 + 3x + 8x = 180
Combine like terms: 3x + 8x = 11x
15 + 11x = 180
Solving
15 + 11x = 180
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-15' to each side of the equation.
15 + -15 + 11x = 180 + -15
Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0
0 + 11x = 180 + -15
11x = 180 + -15
Combine like terms: 180 + -15 = 165
11x = 165
Divide each side by '11'.
x = 15
Simplifying
x = 15
