Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3 - 2x = -1.5x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    3 = 0.5x
  2. Divide 0.5 on both sides:               6 = x
  3. Rewrite:                                           x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in<em> x</em>:                    3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
  2. Multiply:                               3 - 12 = -9
  3. Subtract:                              -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3-2x= -1.5x

-3       -3

-2x= -1.5x - 3

+1.5x   +1.5x

-.5x= -3

divide both sides by -.5

<u>x = 6</u>

A carpenter purchased 50 ft of redwood and 70 ft of pine for a total cost of $280. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ
iris [78.8K]

The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.

<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>

let

  • cost of redwood = x
  • cost of pine = y

50x + 70y = 280

100x + 60y = 440

Multiply (1) by 2

100x + 140y = 560

100x + 60y = 440

subtract to eliminate x

80y = 120

y = 120/80

y = $1.5

substitute y = 1.5 into (1)

50x + 70y = 280

50x + 70(1.5) = 280

50x + 105 = 280

50x = 280 - 105

50x = 175

x = 175 / 50

x = $3.5

Which do the following equations represent? -4x-5y=-4 and 10x-8y=-1
kicyunya [14]
Parallel have same slope
Perpendicular have opposite reciprocal slopes. Ex. 2/3 is slope of one line so the perpendicular line would have slope of -3/2.

Find slopes of these lines.

-4x-5y=-4
-4x+4 =5y
Divide by 5

Y= -4x/5 +4/5

Second line: 10x-8y=-1

10x+1=8y
Divide by 8

10x/8 +1/8 =y

Y= 5x/4 +1/8

So if you look at slope of line 1= -4/5 and line 2 it’s 5/4 so these both are perpendicular.
