Answer 1
Answer:
If we arrange the equation of a line in standard form,
we can read its slope (gradient) directly.

1).                                            5x + y + 4  =       0

Subtract  4  from each side:    5x + y        =       -4

Subtract  5x  from each side:          y        = -5x - 4

The slope (gradient) of the line is  -5 .    

2).  Parallel lines have the same slope (gradient).
      First, find the slope (gradient) of the given line.

                                          3x + 5y =              15

Subtract  3x  from each side:    5y = -3    x + 15

Divide each side by  5 :              y = -3/5 x + 15

The slope (gradient) of the given line is  -3/5 .
Any line with a slope (gradient) of  -3/5  is parallel to this one.

Its equation will be         y = -3/5 x  +  any number.

HELP!!!! Please?! Solve the equation below, and check the solution. -6x+7=79 the solution set is? BRAINLIEST ANSWER

Answers

Alright so, in order to solve an equation, you must have the unknown by itself.

So, we first subtract 7 from both sides and get a new equation.

-6x = 72

Now we divide by -6 so that x is by itself.

x = -12.

Now, -12 is a *possible* solution to the equation.  The way to find out is to check.  Checking the answer means "plugging in" the number into the equation, and seeing if it solves. so.


-6 * -12 + 7 = 79

72 + 7 = 79

79 = 79


So, since the answer checked out, -12 is a solution to the equation.

Whats the answer too -8(x + 4) -6x

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x + 4) -6x = -8 * x  + (-8) * 4 - 6x

                     = -8x - 32 -6x

                      = -14x -32
