Step-by-step:
Use slope formula to find the slope. (y - y)/(x - x)
Make sure the x and y in front of the minus is a pair that goes together, as well as the x and y behind the minus sign. So
8 - -4 goes on top, that's 12
0 - -1 goes under, thats 1
12/1 is the slope which is just 12. Use either point to fill in the second x and the second y in the point-slope equation. m is the slope.
y - y = m(x - x)
y - 8 = 12(x - 0)
y - 8 = 12x
We know that
the capacity of container is 1 quart--------> 0.25 gallon------> 1/4 gallon
so
1/4 gallon-----------------> 1 time
5 gallons----------------> X times?
X=5/(1/4)--------> X=20 times
the answer is
20 times
Simplify:
5(a + 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms:
5(5 + a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(5 * 5 + a * 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(25 + 5a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms again:
25 + -3 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
Combine like terms:
]25 + -3 = 22
22 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
22 + 5a = (2 * 3 + -1a * 3)
22 + 5a = (6 + -3a)
Solve:
22 + 5a = 6 + -3a
To solve for variable 'a':
You have to move all terms containing A to the left, all other terms to the right.
Then add '3a' to each side of the equation:
22 + 5a + 3a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms:
5a + 3a = 8a
22 + 8a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms again:
-3a + 3a = 0
22 + 8a = 6 + 0
22 + 8a = 6
Add '-22' to each side of the equation.:
22 + -22 + 8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms:
22 + -22 = 0
0 + 8a = 6 + -22
8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms once more:
6 + -22 = -16
8a = -16
Divide each side by '8'.
a = -2
Simplify:
a = -2
Answer: a=-2
