Is there a picture to go along with this??
We have, /x+5.3/ = 2.1;
Then, x + 5.3 = 2.1 or x + 5.3 = -2.1;
x = 2.1 - 5.3; x = -3.2;
x = -2.1-5.3; x = -7.4;
The correct answer is c.
You need LCD or the least common denominator. For 4 over 8 and 2 over 8 have the same denominators except for 2 over 4. You need to ask yourself what times 4 equals to 8? 4 times 2 equals to 8, so multiply 4x2 for the denominator and for the numerator multiply 2x2. Whatever you do to the denominator you have to do the same thing to the numerator. You multiplied 4x2 for the denominator and 2x2 for the numerator and now your fraction is 4 over 8. Now add 4 over 8+ 4 over 8 which is 8 over 8 or 1. Now add 1+ 2 over 8 which is 1 2/8. If you simplify 1 2/8 it will become 1 1/4.
Hope that helped:D
Answer:
y=2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is parallel to another, it shares the same slope.
Our original line is y=2x-8, and it is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
This means that our slope is 2 because m represents the slope.
The slope of our parallel line will then also be 2.
<u>We can begin to plug that into point-slope form which is:</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
This is where (x1, y1) is a point the line intersects, and m is the slope.
<u>Plugging in the slope, we'll have:</u>
y - y1 = 2(x - x1)
We also know it intersects the point (-4, -1）
We can plug this into our equation as well.
y - (-1) = m(x - (-4))
y+1=2(x+4)
<u>Now, we can simplify it into slope-intercept form:</u>
y+1=2(x+4)
Distribute
y+1=2x+8
Subtract 1 from both sides
y=2x+8-1
y=2x+7
