Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
48(7x - 9) = 60(4x + 4) ← divide both sides by 48
7x - 9 = 1.25(4x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis
7x - 9 = 5x + 5 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x - 9 = 5 ( add 9 to both sides )
2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first look at the number that is higher.
16 is negative because it is the number that is higher and is being subtracted from 12.
So your answer is
Answer:
y = - x - 5
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 )
y = 2x + 3 is in this form with slope m = 2
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 2, - 4) into the partial equation
- 4 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 1 = - 5
y = - x - 5 ← equation of perpendicular line
