17.85 / 2.1 = 8.5

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=-4x - 5 and passes through the point (-2, 6)?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

B.) y=-4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel, the slope is the same

y = -4x-5 has a slope of -4, so the new line has a slope of -4

We have a slope and a point, so we can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x2)

y-6 = -4(x--2)

y-6 = -4(x+2)

Distribute

y-6 =-4x -8

Add 6 to each side

y-6+6 = -4x-8+6

y = -4x-2

What dose this equal 2(6x-4)=3(6x+2)
AveGali [126]

Answer:

-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(6−4)=3(6+2)

2(6x-4)=3(6x+2)

Solve

1

Distribute

2(6−4)=3(6+2)

{\color{#c92786}{2(6x-4)}}=3(6x+2)

12−8=3(6+2)

{\color{#c92786}{12x-8}}=3(6x+2)

2

Distribute

12−8=3(6+2)

12x-8={\color{#c92786}{3(6x+2)}}

12−8=18+6

12x-8={\color{#c92786}{18x+6}}

3

Add

8

8

to both sides of the equation

12−8=18+6

12x-8=18x+6

12−8+8=18+6+8

12x-8+{\color{#c92786}{8}}=18x+6+{\color{#c92786}{8}}

Oswaldo has read 65 pages of a book. That is 20% of the total number of pages. How many pages long is Oswaldos book? Plz plz plz
Katen [24]
We must multiply 20% by 5 in order to reach 100%.

To find out the total number of pages in Oswaldo's book, we must multiply his 20% (65) by 5, therefore:

65 * 5 = 325 total pages
