6 0

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of a + 24 = 3a/4

=> 60a/100 + 24 = 3a/4

=> 3a/5 + 24 = 3a/4

=> 3a / 4 - 3a/5 = 24

=> ( 15a - 12a) / 20 = 24

=> 3a / 20 = 24

=> a = 24 × 20 / 3

=> a = 8 × 20

=> a = 160

What is the perpendicular slope intercept form?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

- slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope (2 in this case) so y = -1/2 x + c

- to find c we substitute the values from the given point into the equation

(0) = -1/2*(5) + c

- rearrange and calculate and you'll get c = 5/2 or 2.5

- replace the value of c and now you've got y = -1/2x + 2.5
