Answer:
a. 2.5
b. 2.333
c. 2.85
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 1. subtract -x on both sides 2. to get 3x-1/2=7
3. Add 1/2 on both sides 4. to get 3x=7.5
5. divide 3 on both sides 6. To get... x=2.5
B)1. Same process. 2. x+2=13/3
3. x=13/3-2 4. x= 2.33(repeating)
C) 1. same process. 2. 2x-x/3=3+7/4
3. 2x-x/3=4.75 4. Isolate -x/3
5.-x/3=4.75-2x 6. multiply both sides by 3
7. -x=14.25-6x 8. 5x=14.25
9. x= 2.85
* remember to distribute the 3 to each variable.
6/11 is the answer.
Hoped this helped!
Perpendicular has slope that multiplies to -1
the slope for ax+by=c is -a/b
-1x+2y=4
slope=-(-1)/2=1/2
1/2 times what=-1?
-2
y=mx+b
m=slope
we need slope is -2
y=-2x+b
find b
given
(-2,1)
(x,y)
x=-2 and y=1 is a solution
1=-2(-2)+b
1=4+b
mius 4 both sides
-3=b
y=-2x-3 is equation
first one
