Answer:

DE = 15

DF = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

E___D___F

EF = DE + DF

38 = (3x +9) + (12x-1)

38 = 15x + 8

15x = 38 - 8

15x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2

DE = 3x + 9 = 3(2) + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15

DF = 12x - 1 = 12(2) - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

I hope I helped you^_^

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)
serious [3.7K]

First find the slope of the given line:

4x +2y = 1

Subtract 4x from each side:

2y = -4x + 1

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -2x +1/2

The slope is -2.

Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because  the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.

The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2

Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:

y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)

Simplify:

y - 3 = x/2 +2

Add 3 to each side:

y = x/2 + 5

Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5

The answer is D.

Henry and Blake are both runners. In 2 hours, Henry runs 14 miles. In 5 hours, Henry runs 35 miles. The graph below represents t
Tasya [4]
Henry runs at a rate of seven miles an hour. I think you meant the second sentence to be 'Blake', because there is not attatched graph. They are both running at the same speed in this case.

I got this because 14 (miles ran by Henry) / 2 (hours ran) you get 7. This same equation is applied to (Blake?) 35 (miles ran by [Blake?]) / 5 (hours ran) also equals seven.

If you meant the second statement to be Blake, they are both running at the same speed, and x=7.

If you didn't, then there is not enough information to determine Blake's speed.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one, as well as to move up in rank! :)

Please help me I beg you substituteion with negative number & order of operations unite 2
Leto [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(10)

To evaluate f(- 4) substitute x = - 4 into f(x)

f(x) = 7x - 4x + 3 = 3x + 3

f(- 4) = 3(- 4) + 3 = - 12 + 3 = - 9

(11)

To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x)

f(- 2) = 2(- 2)² - 8 = 2(4) - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0

(12)

To evaluate g(- 3) substitute x = - 3 into g(x)

g(- 3) = - 2(- 3)² + 3(- 3) = - 2(9) - 9 = - 18 - 9 = - 27

bazaltina [42]

So Joan receives 25% commission on the profits of the cars she sells. She got $8,870 on the profit last month. To find the commission, let’s multiply the amount of profit by the percentage. 8,870 * 0.25 is 2,217.5. There. Joan earned $2,217.50 in commission last month.
