Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Total meaning addition, you would use the opposite operation to find the answer.
28 - 20 = 8
And to check your work you would add;
20 + 8 = 28
which is the brothers total combined age.
Remark
The line you want is parallel to y = - 2x + 3
That means it has the same slope as the given line. The given line has a slope of -2
y = -2x + b is what you have so far. Now you have to use the point to get b
y = - 100
x = - 100
Solve for b
-100 = -2(-100) + b
-100 = 200 + b Notice the sign change. Two minus's make a plus. Subtract 200 from both sides.
- 100 - 200 = b
- 300 = b
Answer
y = - 2x - 100
Step-by-step explanation:
2y=14
y=7
-2x-2(7)=-28
-2x=-28+14
-2x=-14
x=7
Answer:
<h2>x = 10</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding sides are in proportion:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use distributive property </em><em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 20x from both sides</em>
