7 + (x/8) in written form. I hope this helps! -Dan
The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:
2 = 5 + b
b= -3
That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3
Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand.
32−8x=7x+2
Add 8x to both sides.
32=7x+2+8x
Simplify 7x+2+8x7x+2+8x to 15x+215x+2.
32=15x+2
Subtract 22 from both sides.
32−2=15x
Simplify 32−2 to 30.
30=15x
Divide both sides by 15.
30/15=x
Simplify 30/15 to 2
2=x
Switch sides.
x=2
Answer:
54 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the number of miles (216) by the hours (4) you get 54.
