X-1=5x+3x-8help this confused child

1 answer:

4 0

X-1= 5x+3x-8

Combine like terms
x-1= 8x-8

Our goal is to isolate x by cancelling out other numbers.
Subtract x from both sides
x-1-x= 8x-x-8
-1= 7x-8

Add 8 to both sides
7=7x

Divide both sides by 7
1=x

Final answer: x=1

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (6, 1) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -3. Include all

jeka94

ANSWER

$y-1= \frac{1}{3} (x- 6)$

EXPLANATION

We want to write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (6, 1) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -3.

The slope of this line is negative reciprocal of -3.

$m = - \frac{1}{ - 3} = \frac{1}{3}$

The point-slope form is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We substitute the point and the slope to get;

$y-1= \frac{1}{3} (x- 6)$
