Answer:

x = 7.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

When a number is multiplied by 5 before subtracting from 78 the result obtained is the same as three times the sum of the number and 5 find the number

Hence,

78 -(x × 5) = 3(x + 5)

Expand the brackets

78 - 5x = 3x + 15

Collect like terms

78 -15 = 3x + 5x

63 = 8x

x = 63/8

x = 7.875

Write an equation in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the given equation through the given point
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Any line perpendicular to the given equation y = -3x + 4 will have a slope which is the negative reciprocal of -3; that is, +1/3.

Start with the general slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Insert the coordinates 6 and -2 into y = mx + b:  -2 = (1/3)(6) + b, or

-2 = 2 + b.  Thus, b = -4, and the desired equation is

y = (1/3)x - 4
