Answer:
Each book weighs 2.5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
75/2.5 is 30. Or you could also get the answer by 30* 2.5 which it would be 75. So, therefor, the answer is 2.5.
2x-4y=-16
ax+4y=6 +
--------------------
2x+ax=-10; for x=-2,
2(-2)+a(-2)=-10
-2a=-10+4
a=-6/-2
a=3
Answer:
i think it is a but there are algebra caculators online
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
