55+p=105
subtract 55 from both sides
p=50
MAGIC
Slope = (8 -2) / (1 + 5) =6/6 = 1
Parallel lines, slope is the same
So the slope of any line parallel to the line containing (-5,2) & (1,8) is also equal 1
Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
9-x/5=3
Subtract 9 from each side
9-9-x/5=3-9
-x/5 = -6
Multiply each side by -5
-x/5 *-5 = -6*-5
x = 30
In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.
To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:
(34 x 100) / 50
When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:
68
