Becase half of 8 is 4
4x4 is 16
Answer:
39
Work:
(x+5)/2=22
We will reverse this equation.
We will start by moving the 2 through inverse operations.
22x2=44
Now we have the equation
x+5=44
We will subtract 5
44-5=39
x=39
the unknown variable equals 39

Answer: m = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(3, - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 4y = -11
2x + 3y = -9
Multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by - 5 to cancel out the x's.
10x - 8y = - 22
- 10x - 15y = 45
Cancel out x's.
-8y = - 22
- 15y = 45
Add like terms.
- 23y = 23
Can't have a negative variable to flip them.
-23 = 23y
Divide.
y = - 1
Input y into one of the equations and solve for x.
2x + 3(-1) = -9
Simplify.
2x -3 = -9
Cancel out -3 by adding 3.
2x = -6
Divide.
x - -3
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
