Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation: The equation of the original line in standard form is y = -5. Lines with a "y = b" equation are horizontal, so we know that the parallel line will also be horizontal and follow the y=b format. The original line passes through the point (2, 7) so the equation is y = 7.

Melanie has a piece of cloth 12 and 1/3 yards long. How many 3/4 yard-long pieces can be cut from the cloth?

Harrizon [31]

This is a division problem. First, get 12 1/3 into fraction form instead of mixed number form to make your life easier;
$12 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{37}{3} 
$
Now, divide the two fractions. Since this is fraction division, the reciprocal is flipped and the two fractions multiplied.
$\frac{37}{3} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{148}{9} = 16 \frac{4}{9} 
$
The answer from the fraction division is 16 and four-ninths, but because you need a whole number as an answer,
the answer is 16 pieces.

F(x) = -9x + 2 and g(x) = -9x + 6, find (f - g)(7)

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

I think there is an error in the question because

(f-g) = -4

(f-g) (7) = NO SOLUTION

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = -9x + 2 \\g(x) = -9x + 6\\(f - g)(7)\\(f - g) = -9x + 2 - (-9x+6)\\(f - g) = -9x +2 +9x-6\\(f - g) = -9x +9x+2-6\\(f - g) = -4$
