Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 steps

3.7 = x +(-5) , add 5 to both sides

3.7+ 5 = x + (-5) +5

8.7 = x , combine like terms

or 1 step

3.7 = x +(-5), add 5 to both sides and combine like terms

8.7 = x

A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let $A(x,y) = (14,21)$ and $B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A})$ . The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

$y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A})$ (1)

Where:

$x_{A}$ , $y_{A}$ - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

$m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}}$ (2)

If we know that $x_{A} = 14$ and $y_{A} = 21$ , then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

$x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)$

$x_{B} = 17.5$

$y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)$

$y_{B} = 15.75$

From (2):

$m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

By (1):

$y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

How do you do equations with distributive property and cross multiply?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum

Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas.

vovangra [49]

The ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6 or oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

Solution:

Given that, Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas

She uses between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas in a ratio of 3 oranges to 2 bananas

Given ratio is:

Ratio of orange to bananas = 3 : 2

They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc

But we need a value between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas

So we can choose 15 or 10

Now let us choose 15 and solve

Let the oranges be 3x

Let the bananas be 2x

Therefore,

3x + 2x = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(3) = 9

Bananas = 2x = 2(3) = 6

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6

Similarly solve for 10

3x + 2x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bananas = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 6 : 4
