If 5a+b=14 then a = what explain how you got it pls

Mathematics
1 answer:
Trava [24]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a = \frac{14 - b}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule to know and follow is:

You can add, subtract, multiply or divide by anything so long as the same thing is done to both sides of the equals sign;

5a + b = 14

If we want to get: "a = ...", then we use the rule to isolate the variable a on one side of the equation;

Firstly, we subtract b from both sides:

5a + b - b = 14 - b

5a = 14 - b

Then, divide both sides by 5:

\frac{5a}{5} = \frac{14 - b}{5} \\\\ a = \frac{14 - b}{5}

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = \frac{5-3}{4-5} = \frac{2}{-1} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

Can dilations be used to form scale copies of a figure?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways that dilation is used in real life. Here are several:

In graphic design. I actually do some graphic design, and I use dilation a lot. It is common to dilate photos to fit the space that you want it to fit.

In police work and crime investigation. Detectives and police dilate photos to see smaller details and evidence.

In architecture. It is normal for architects to make a prototype of their design or building. In order to make the building true to the prototype, they must dilate the scale and measurements.

In the doctor's office. Dilation is used in eye exams so that the eye doctor can view the patient's eye better. After a while it will slowly reduce in size and return back to normal.

Solve for x.<br> 5<br> 10<br> 12<br> 13
zysi [14]

Answer: B)  4 & 1/6

Nice work on getting the correct answer.

============================================================

Explanation:

x is opposite the marked acute angle

5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle

So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5

Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.

Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x

x/5 = 10/12

12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply

12x = 50

x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12

x = (25*2)/(6*2)

x = 25/6

x = (24+1)/6

x = 24/6 + 1/6

x = 4 + 1/6

x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.

Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately
