C is correct answer, passes through (5,-1) and also has slope of 3/4
I Think the answer is 31 because 20-5 is 15 so 36-5 is 31
Answer: 51/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you must cut down the length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches, the leftover piece will be:
15 1/8 - 8 3/4
Change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
121/8 - 35/4
The LCM will be 8
( 121 - 70 )/8
51/8 or 6.375 inches
Therefore, the leftover piece will be 51/8 inches long
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
