Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:    

To find the number, write an algebraic equation with the given information. Let the variable n represent the unknown number.

Now, break it by parts - "three times a number" would be 3n. The "is" means that it equals something, giving us 3n =. "36 less than 5 times the number" would be subtracting 36 from whatever 5 times the number is: 5n -36. So, put it all together and it is 3n = 5n-36.

Next, solve the equation for n. The answer will be the number.

3n = 5n-36\\0 = 2n - 36\\36 = 2n \\n = 18

Thus, the number is 18.

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 and passes through the point (-2, 1)
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

x + 2y = 4

2y = - x + 4

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y = - x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c

c = 1 + 4 = 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 5
