Expressions are mathematical statements represented with the variables

The value of 12x^-3 y-1 for x=-1 and y=5 is - 12/5

<h3>How to determine the value of the variable</h3>

The expression is given as:

$12x^{-3} y^{-1}$

When x = -1, the expression becomes

$12 * -1^{-3} y^{-1}$

Evaluate the exponent

$- 12 y^{-1}$

When y = 5, the expression becomes

$- 12 * 5^{-1}$

Evaluate the exponent

- 12/5

Hence, the value of 12x^-3 y-1 for x=-1 and y=5 is - 12/5

2(2x + 4) + 2(x - 7) = 78. Determine the side lengths of this rectangle.

sp2606 [1]

$2(2x + 4) + 2(x - 7) = 78$

$4x + 8 + 2x - 14 = 78$

$(4x + 2x) + (8 - 14) = 78$

$6x - 6 = 78$

$6x = 78 + 6$

$6x = 84$

$x = \frac{84}{6}$

$x = 14$

Find the slope of the line represented by equation 5-3x=7-2x

Maurinko [17]

Equation of a line is g iven by y = mx + c; where m is the slope.

5 - 3x = 7 - 2x
-2x + 3x = 5 - 7
x = -2

The line is a vertical line and so has an undefined slope.
