Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

To begin, distribute the 2 to the x and -9.

So...

2 ( x - 9 ) = 10

2x - 18 = 10

2x = 28

x = 14

I hope this helps :)

Hello!

Answer:

1. =-6

2. =39

3. =-603

_________________________________________________

Explanation: This question's it's about the order of operations. It stands for p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtract. It can also go left to right. (PEMDAS)

1. -4(3-1)+2

Do parenthesis first.

$(3-1)=2$

$-4*2+2$

Then do multiply left to right.

$-4*2=-8$

Add left to right.

$-8+2$

$8-2=6$

*Answer should be have negative sign.*

Answer: → $\boxed{=-6}$

______________________________________________________

2. 3⋅[(30−8)÷2+2]

Do parenthesis first.

$(30-8)=22$

$22/2+2$

Then divide left to right.

$22/2=11$

Add left to right.

$11+2=13$

Multiply left to right.

$3*13=39$

*Answer should be have positive sign.*

Answer: → $\boxed{=39}$

_____________________________________________________

3. 14(1-23)2+13

Do parenthesis first.

$(1-23)=-22$

$14(-22)*2+13$

Then, you multiply left to right.

$14(-22)=-308$

$-308*2=-616$

Add/subtract left to right.

$-616+13$

$616-13=603$

*The answer must be have a negative sign*

Answer: → $\boxed{=-603}$

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!

Answer:

$147,848.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed rate =7.35%

Mortgage Loan= $685,000

Selling price=$782,000

Property tax paid= $14,578.15

Therefore,

Prorated Amount Owed= Outstanding balance on the house + Interest paid on the loan for the year

Prorated Amount Owed=(782500-685000)+7.35% of 685000

=97500+50347.5

=$147,847.5

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4

Rama09 [41]

If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7
