Positive Slope
<em>TIP for finding what slope it is:</em>
<em>Positive </em>- the line is pointing right
<em>Negative</em> - the line is pointing left
<em>Undefined </em>- the line is pointing up and down
<em>Zero</em> - the line is point from left to right
Answer:
Im pretty sure it's the 2nd one
Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x
Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1
Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3
Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25
Simplifying
x = 0.25
I only know 1 way.
-4x +4 = -3x + 31
4 - 31 = -3x + 4x
-27 = x
