What is the value of x in the following proportion? 7/x-5 = 15/x+4

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: For this question you should first add -15/x on both sides of the equation and then add +5 on both sides:
7/x - 15/x = 5 + 4 
-8/x = 9 
so now you can multiply both sides by x:
-8 = 9x 
now you should divide both sides by 9:
-8/9 = x :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

A function is represented by the graph.Complete the statement by selecting from the drop-down menu.


The y-intercept of the function ​ y=−2x+8y​​ is the y-intercept of the function represented in the graph.
A graph with a line running through point (1,6) and point (5, -2)

Answers

Y = -2x + 8 The y intercept of the function is 8  

The equation that passes the point ( 1, 6 ) and ( 5, -2)
First solve the slope
M = ( 6 – (-2)) / ( 1 – 5 )
M = -2
At point ( 1,6) solve the y intercept b  
Y = mx + b
6 = (-2)(1) + b
b = 8
so the equation is   y = -2x + 8

Answer: (PIC)
