Answer:

<u>-5</u><u>/</u><u>8x</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the slope of the given line.

Do this by converting it to slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Divide the whole equation by 8 to isolate the y variable.

After dividing by 8 you should now have 5/8x + y = 6.25

Now you need to subtract y and 6.25 to isolate y

5/8x - 6.25 = -y

Now you have to divide the whole equation by negative 1 to make y positive. You end up with: y =<u> -5/8 </u>+ 6.25

<u>We</u><u> </u><u>know</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>slopes</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>parallel</u><u> </u><u>lines</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>equal</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-5</u><u>/</u><u>8x</u>

Answer:

-5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form to slope-intercept form to find the slope.

5x + 8y = 50

8y = -5x + 50

y = -5/8x + 50/8

Slope: -5/8

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "2(x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0." 

<span>6x 2 + 2x - 8 = 0
(2x - 2) (3x + 4) = 0
2(x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "</span><span>(x - 4)^2 = -19."</span><span>

x2 - 8x + 3 =0
x2 - 8x + 16 = -3 - 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = -19
(x - 4)^2 = -19</span>

2.4z+1.2z-6.5=0.7 I don't get it
almond37 [142]
Basically that answer is incorrect. If you'd learn about combining, multiplying, dividing or subtracting like terms, this will be a simple problem. To be specific, like term is a number with a letter with it.

For example, 2.4z is a like term.

so you can only add like term, not any other normal number. When two terms have the same "letter", you will have to do what the sign said so in the problem....

2.4z + 1.2z - 6.5 = 0.7
3.6z - 6.5 = 0.7 (Add but leave the z alone because you are not multiplying)

The final answer is 3.6z - 6.5 because you cannot do anything else to that problem.

3.6z-6.5=0.7 is not true.

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 65 square centimeters. Find the dimens
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

5 cm and 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the width of the rectangle.

Length = 3+2b

The area of the rectangle is 65 cm²

We need to find the dimensions of the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

65=(3+2b)b\\\\65=3b+2b^2\\\\3b+2b^2-65=0\\\\b=5\ cm,-6.5\ cm

Neglecting the negative value, the width of the rectangle is 5 cm.

Length = 3+2b

=3+2(5)

=3+10

=13 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 cm and 13 cm.
