24 = -3(2а — 15) — а

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

24= -3(2a-15)-a -->given

24=-6a+45-a -->distribute the -3

24=-7a+45 -->combine like terms

-21=-7a -->subtract 45 from both sides

3=a -->divide both sides by -7

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (6, 3) that is perpendicular to the line 6x + 5y = 10

An equation of the line is
y=?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}x-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of a line passing through a point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and slope [tex]m_1[/tex] is,

[tex]y-y_1=m_1(x-x_1)[/tex]

Equation of the second line has been given as,

6x + 5y = 10

Slope-intercept form of the equation will be,

5y = -6x + 10

y = [tex]-\frac{6}{5}x+10[/tex]

Here slope of the line [tex]m_2=-\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

If both the lines are perpendicular,

By the property of perpendicular lines,

[tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_1\times (-\frac{6}{5})=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_1=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, equation of the line passing through (6, 3) and slope = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] will be,

y - 3 = [tex]\frac{5}{6}(x-6)[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{5}{6}x-5+3[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}x-2[/tex]

Write an absolute value inequality to represent each situation.

Two friends are hiking in Death Valley National Park. Their elevation ranges

from 228 ft below sea level at Badwater to 690 ft above sea level at Zabriskie

Point. Let x represent their elevation in feet.

Answers

Answer:

║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 228 ft below sea level, this is x' = -228 ft. Also,  we have 690 ft above sea level, this is x" = 690 ft.

Since x is our elevation in feet, x ranges from -228 ≤ x ≤ 690.

To write an absolute value equation for x, we first take the average of the two values for the ranges to obtain the ideal value of x.

So, ideal value = [690 + (-228)]/2 = 462/2 = 231.

We also find the tolerance by taking the difference of both values and dividing by 2. So tolerance = [690 - (-228)]/2 =  [690 + 228)]/2 = 918/2 = 459.

Subtracting 231 from each value of the inequality we have

-228 - 231 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 690 - 231

-459 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 459

Since we have in magnitude the values on the left and right side of the inequality,

So ║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

It is given that a number x is greater than 3.

We have to represent the sentence as an inequality.

What do you mean by inequalities ?

Inequalities are the expressions in which both sides are not equal and the equal sign in between is replaced by less than , greater than, etc.

As per the question ;

A number x is greater than 3.

So ,

Number is x.

and

It is greater than 3

i.e.,

we need to use a sign of greater than to represent the inequality i.e., > sign.

So ,

The sentence as an inequality can be written as ;

x > 3.

Thus , the sentence as an inequality will be x > 3.

Leo took an Uber to get to football practice. Uber charged $1.25 per mile (m) and he gave the driver a $5.00 tip. If the total trip was $16.25, how many miles did he travel to football practice?

Answers

Answer:

9miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the uber charges $1.25 per mile

and that Leo also gave a tip of $5

the function for the total charge is given as

y=mx+c

Step two:

we will use the notation m for the number of miles traveled

given that the total trip is $16.25

16.25=1.25m+5

solving for m we have

16.25-5=1.25m

11.25=1.25m

divide both sides by 1.25

m=11.25/1.25

m=9

So he travelled 9miles

Where

a team of divers assembles at an elevation of -10 ft relative to the surface of the water. Then the team dives at a rate of the water. Then the team dives at a rate of -50ft/min. Write a rule that represents the teams depth d as a function of time t. What is the team's depth after 3 minutes?

Answers

Answer: The team will be 160 feet below sea level after 3 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the team is at -10 ft relative to sea level then it means that they are 10 feet below sea level, and if they also going  -50 ft per minute, it also means that they are still going below sea level.

The rule will be,     d= -50t -10        

If t is the time, input 3 minutes into  the equation for t and solve for d to find their depth.

d= -50(3) - 10

d= -150 - 10

d= -160
