a) x = 24
b) x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
a) x÷3 - 2 = 6
+2 +2
x÷3 = 8
×3 ×3
8 × 3 = 24
x = 24
b) x÷5 + 1 = 5
-1 -1
x÷5 = 4
×5 ×5
4 × 5 = 20
y = 5x + 17
step-by-step explanation:
a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation. the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5
find b:
7 = 5 (-2) + b
7 = -10 + b
17 = b
