Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 3(x + 4) = 8

=> 3(x + 4) = 2 - 8 = -6

=> x + 4 = -6/3 = -2

=> x = -2 - 4 = -6

a recipe for 1 handmade pizza calls for 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Showing your work below, how many cups of all purpose flou
KatRina [158]
You need to use the cross product method to find your answer :

1 pizza = 2 ½ cups
3 pizzas = × cups

((2 ½) • 3) ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ = × cups

⇨ So your answer is: You would need to use 7 ½ cups of flour to make 3 handmade pizzas!

There you go. I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

what is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line that contains the points (-3,4) and (5,7)
gavmur [86]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{8} x + \frac{41}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

To calculate the slope use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = \frac{7-4}{5+3} = \frac{3}{8}, hence

y = \frac{3}{8} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (5, 7 ), then

7 = \frac{15}{8} + c ⇒ c = 7 - \frac{15}{8} = \frac{41}{8}

y = \frac{3}{8} x + \frac{41}{8} ← equation in slope-intercept form
