The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is 7

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" can be signified by a variable.

So 2 times a number would give you 2x

And 8 would mean to add 8.

Is 7 means the end result is 7.

So 2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

Determine the GCF of 18xy and 12xy

Answers

Answer:

If im correct im pretty sure its 6xy

The GCF of 18xy and 12xy is 6xy.

What is Greatest Common Factor?

The largest factor that splits both numbers is said to be the greatest common factor. List the prime factors of each integer before calculating the greatest common factor.

18 and 24 share one 2 and one 3 in common.

, so 2 x 3 = 6 is the GCF of 18 and 24.

Given:

18xy and 12xy

now, factoring the above terms

18xy = 2 × 3 × 3 × x × y

12xy= 2 × 2 × 3 × x × y

So, 18xy & 12xy = 2 x 3 xy = 6xy

hence, the GCF of 18xy and 12xy is 6xy.

What is the slope-intercept equation for the line below?

A) y = 5/4x - 4
B) y = 4/5x - 4
C) y = -4/5x - 4
D) y = -5/4x - 4​

Answers

Answer:

A) y = 5/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept formula

y = mx + b, where m = slope, b = y-intercept

Slope formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Given points (on the graph)

(0, -4) and (4, 1)

Slope is:

m = (1 - (-4))/(4 - 0) = 5/4

y-intercept is

-4 as per the first point

So the line is:

y = 5/4x - 4

Correct answer option is: A) y = 5/4x - 4

If a roof is 24 feet high and if you leaned a 26 foot ladder against the side of a building how far away from the building is the base of a ladder to reach the roof

Answers

Answer: 35.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Height of the roof = 24 feet

Height of the ladder = 26 foot

Solution:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = 24

b = 26

c^2 = 24^2 + 26^2

c = √576 + 676

c = √1252

c = 35.4 feet

The foot of the ladder is 35.4 foot away from the top of the ladder.

Answer:

The distance between the base of the ladder and the building is 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building

To get this, we need to have a pictorial representation. Please check the attachment for this

From the pictorial representation, we can see a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 26 feet and the other side being 24 feet. We now need to get the third side of this triangle which represents the distance we want.

Mathematically, we can calculate the distance using Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal the sum of the squares of the two other sides of the triangle.

Let the distance we are looking for be D

26^2 = 24^2 + D^2

D^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

D^2 = 100

D^2 = 10^2

D = 10 feet


Write the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -20) and (1,4).

Answers

Answer:

y=6x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is y=mx+b

FINDING SLOPE: To find the slope of a given line use the equation [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

So x1=-3, y1=-20 and x2=1, y2=4

Plug those numbers into the equation: [tex]\frac{4-(-20)}{1-(-3)}[/tex]  and we get the slope which is 6.

FINDING Y-INTERCEPT: Then we find the y intercept by plugging in our points (you can choose) I will use (1,4) and solve.

y=6x+b

4=6(1)+b

b=-2

The ratio of Braydon's number of laps he ran to the time he ran is 6:2. The ratio of Monique's number of laps she ran to the time she ran is 104. Explain why these ratios are not in a proportional relationship.​

Answers

Answer:

They are not in a proportional relationship because Monique's number and time isnt a proportion. Instead it is a whole number. Like Braydon's his is 6:2 that is the correct way to write it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is not proportion.

What is ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Given:

The ratio of Braydon's number of laps he ran to the time he ran is 6:2.

The ratio of Monique's number of laps she ran to the time she ran is 10:4.

The simplest for Braydon is = 6/2 = 3/1

and, the simplest form for Monique = 10/4 = 5/2

As, 3/1 ≠ 5/2

So, the ratio is not proportion.

Answers

Answer:

it is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of WZ will be equal to WZ= 9 inches so the correct option is B.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle termed trigonometry.

We have: U is the midpoint of TR, V is the midpoint of TS and W is the midpoint of SR

This means that.Z is the centroid of the given triangle centroid point divides any median in the triangle in the ratio of 2:1 from the vertex

This means that:

TZ = 2ZW

3x = 2(2x-3)

3x = 4x - 6

x = 6

Now, we get WZ as follows:

WZ = 2x - 3 and x = 6

WZ = 2(6) - 3

WZ = 12 - 3

WZ = 9 in

Therefore the value of WZ will be equal to WZ= 9 inches so the correct option is B.

A bus travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour and reaches Hogville in 40 minutes. If a cab takes 35 minutes to reach the same spot, determine the speed at which it traveled.

Answers

Answer:

40mins = 2/3 hour

the bus travelled (2/3 x 40) miles = 80/3 miles

the cab took 35 mins (which is 7/12 hour) so it's speed is (80/3)/(7/12) miles/hour = 45.714 miles/hour (5 s.f.)

pls give brainliest

Answer:

There are infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are infinitely many solutions because if you solve the equations, you will find that both of the equations are actually the same, so there is infinitely many solutions.

Showing that both equations are equal:  y=2/3x+2       -2x+3y=6

y=2/3x+2  Multiply by 3 on both sides

3y=2x+6 Rearrange (-2x on both sides)

3y-2x=6 More rearrangement

-2x+3y=6 Now, if you look back at the second equation, you will see that they are both the same.
