Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x - 5 x + 2 = 10

Grouping like terms, 3 x - 5 x + 2 = 2 + (3 x - 5 x):

2 + (3 x - 5 x) = 10

3 x - 5 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 2 = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

(2 - 2) - 2 x = 10 - 2

2 - 2 = 0:

-2 x = 10 - 2

10 - 2 = 8:

-2 x = 8

Divide both sides of -2 x = 8 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 8/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 8/(-2)

The gcd of 8 and -2 is 2, so 8/(-2) = (2×4)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×4/(-1) = 4/(-1):

x = 4/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 4/(-1) by -1:

Answer: x = -4

What is the equation of the line that passes through point (4,12) and has a y-intercept of -2?

Georgia [21]

Option B:

The equation of a line is $y=\frac{7}{2}x-2$ .

Solution:

Given data:

Line passing through the point (4, 12).

y-intercept of the line = –2

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

c = –2

Substitute c = –2 in slope-intercept form.

y = mx – 2 – – – – (1)

To find m, substitute (4, 12) in the above equation.

12 = m(4) – 2

12 = 4m – 2

Add 2 on both sides of the equation.

14 = 4m

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation.

$$\frac{14}{4}=m$

$$\frac{7}{2}=m$

Slope = $\frac{7}{2}$

Substitute m value in equation (1), we get

$$y=\frac{7}{2}x-2$

The equation of a line is $y=\frac{7}{2}x-2$ .

Hence Option B is the correct answer.

A custodian carries a large key ring. He measures it and calculates that it has a circumference of 25.12 centimeters. What is th

Alina [70]

By definition of $\pi$ , we have

$\pi=\dfrac{C}{d}$

and we deduce

$d = \dfrac{C}{\pi}$

Now, recall that the diameter is twice the radius:

$2r=\dfrac{C}{\pi}$

and solve for $r$ :

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}$

So, divide the circumference by $2\pi$ and you'll find the radius.
