We have a line y = 1/3x -6
We want a line that is perpendicular to this line
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
1/3 * m = -1
3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3
m = -3
The slope of the perpendicular line is -3
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -3x+b
We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)
Substitute this point into the equation
-23 = -3(7)+b
-23 = -21+b
Add 21 to each side
-23+21 = -21+21+b
-2 = b
y = -3x-2
In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is
y = -3x-2
1/2 = 8/16 . . . so there are (<u><em>8</em></u>) - 1/16 pounds servings of chocolate in a 1/2 pound chocolate bar
Answer:
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a square is length times width.
We also know that a quadratic can be factored:
(x - 3)²
So if each side is (x - 3), then when we do length times width, we get x² - 6x + 9. So our answer is choice D.
Day 3 is A because it tell how many pieces of candies eaten in a minute.
Day 4 is 10 and 15 because the ratios go in a pattern by 5
Day 5 is D but I really dont know that one
Answer:
x = 41/3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
7(1x - 3) = 4(x + 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Simplify: 7(x - 3) = 4(x + 5)
- Distribute: 7x - 21 = 4x + 20
- Subtract 4x on both sides: 3x - 21 = 20
- Add 21 on both sides: 3x = 41
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 41/3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 7(1(41/3) - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
- Multiply: 7(41/3 - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
- Subtract/Add: 7(32/3) = 4(56/3)
- Multiply: 224/3 = 224/3
Here, we see that 224/3 is indeed equivalent to 224/3. ∴ x = 41/3 is a solution to the equation.
And we have our final answer!
