Answer:

y = -1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we wanna convert x + 2y = 14 into a slope-intercept equation.

x + 2y = 14

2y = 14 - x

y = 7 - x/2 or y = -1/2x + 7

Now that we have the line in slope-intercept form, we can solve for a line that is parallel to.

But first, what do parallel lines have in common? Parallel lines never intersect first of all and second they have the same slope so meaning we’re going to use -1/2 in order to find the equation of a parallel line so…

y = -1/2x + b

use the given point in the question

0 = -1/2(-8) + b

0 = 4 + b

b = 0 - 4

b = -4

The y-intercept of the line is -4

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 0) and is parallel to the line x + 2y = 14 is y = -1/2x - 4

Answer:

D. x=5

The answer is x=4.50 then it is rounded off to 5. So, the answer is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the domain of the inequality:2x-1\geq 0

Rearrange terms to the left side of the equation:2x\geq 1

Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of the variable:

=> x\geq \frac{1}{2}

The domain of the inequality is:x\geq \frac{1}{2}

Convert logarithm to exponential form:2^{3}=2x-1

Calculate the power:8=2x-1

Rearrange terms to the left side of the equation:-2x= -8-1

Calculate:-2x=-9

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable:x=\frac{-9}{-2}

=> x=\frac{9}{2}

=>x=4.5\\

Round the number: x=4.50

Answer: x=4.50

=> x=5
