Nate and Maya are building model cars. Maya's car is 3 inches less than 2 times the length of Nate's car. The sum of the lengths
of both cars is 26 inches. Write an equation to determine the lengths of Nate's and Maya's cars. x + 3 − 2x = 26
x + 2x = 26
2x − 3 = 26
x + 2x − 3 = 26
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by m(x-x1)=y-y1 where m=slope. from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0, thus the equation will be: 0(x--5)=y--7 0=y+7 y=-7 The equation is y=-7
