I hope this helps, I wrote the new equation each time you get a new number and where it should be placed
3(x-1)=2x+5
3x-3=2x+5
3x-2x=3+5
x=8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
x + 2y = 4
2y = - x + 4
y = -x/2 + 4/2
y = - x/2 + 2
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2
If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes
1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c
c = 1 + 4 = 5
The equation becomes
y = 2x + 5
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.
The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:
x - 6 x + 7
--------- ≥ --------
x + 5 x + 3
=>
x - 6 x + 7
--------- - -------- ≥ 0
x + 5 x + 3
=>
(x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
=>
x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
15x + 53
- ------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.
