Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.
Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
8x - 20 = 9x - 18.
Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or
x = -2.
To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:
(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or
-3 = -3
... which is obviously true.
Answer:
he will owe $1,047 in total and $97.37 in interest
Answer:
B. y = 1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is -3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-3) = 1/3. This eliminates choices A and C.
We can find the y-intercept (b) if we use the given point values in the equation ...
y = 1/3x +b
we get ...
-2 = (1/3)(-6) +b
-2 = -2 +b . . . simplify
0 = b . . . . . . . add 2
So, the equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is ...
y = 1/3x . . . . matches choice B
_____
<em>Alternate solution method</em>
You can try the given point in the given equations. You will find that only the equation of choice B will work.
Answer:
Judy = $5/hr
Ben = $4/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Judy's hours at work - x
Ben's hours at work - y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Given these two equations above, we get:
10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.
Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:
9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65
9x + 40 - 4x = 65
5x = 25
x = 5
Come back to the first equation, substitute x:
8*5 + 10y = 80
10y = 80 - 40
y = 4
Answer:
Yes, this is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
You know this because it passes the vertical line test.
I hope this helps!
