Answer:

y=3/4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so to be parallel to an equation of another line, the line must have the same slope but a different y-intercept. First, you need to find the slope of the equation -3x+4y=4. The equation must be in y=mx+b format, so you first move -3x to the right by adding it on both sides, leaving you with 4y=3x+4. Next, you divide 4y by 4 in order to isolate y and do that on the other side. Now, you have y=3/4x+1.

To find the equation of the new line, you must put the point and slope into point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1). In the point (4, 0), 4 would be x1 and 0 would be y1. so, the new equation is y-0=3/4 (x-4). now, distrubute the 3/4, leaving you with y=3/4x-3. This is correct since the slope remains the same in both equations with a different y-intercept. To check deeper, you could place point (4, 0) on a graph and then rise 3, run 4 until you get the line :) hope this helps

How do you solve 28-2.2x=11.6x-54.8??

malfutka [58]

28 - 2.2x = 11.6x - 54.8
28 + 54.8 = 11.6x + 2.2x
82.8 = 13.8x
82.8 / 13.8 = x
6 = x
or x = 6

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown.

olga_2 [115]

If you apply the linear combination method to the system like:
<span>4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15
(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3
2x = 18
Then you can be sure that the solution of all this system is: (9,3). Hope this si what you were looking for</span>

Factorise fully x^3-x

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$x(x+1)(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the two terms share an x, so we can pull that out:

$x^3-x=x(x^2-1)$

Now notice that we have a difference of squares ( $x^2-1$ ). Given a difference of squares, $a^2-b^2$ , this can always be factored into $(a+b)(a-b)$ . We can use this in this case: $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ .
