Write the equation in the slope-intercept form and then find the slope m and y-intercept b of the corresponding line.
-8x + 6y - 5 = -7

Step 1. The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept at x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Solving yields the following steps.



Add 8x+5 to both sides of the equation





Divide 6 to both sides of the equation





Step 3. The slope m=4/3 and y-intercept b=-1/3}}}

Below is the graph and note the slope and y-intercept.

Subtract Equation A from Equation B
y-y=2x-2x+4-(-4)

0=8 ...Not a true statement. We also note that the lines are parallel since they have the same slope m=2 since the above equations are in slope-intercept form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point(0,b).

ANSWER: There is no solution since the two lines cannot intersect or are in parallel.

Carl is twice as old as Rita. Meg is 5 years older than Carl. If the combined age is 155, how old is Meg?

Step 1. Let x be the age of Rita.

Step 2. Let 2x be the age of Carl since he is twice as old as Rita.

Step 3. Let 2x+5 since Meg is 5 years older than Carl.

Step 4. Then x+2x+2x+5=155 since their combined age is 155.

Step 5. Solving the equation in Step 4 yields the following steps.



Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation





Divide by 5 to both sides of the equation



, then and . Note that the combined age is 155.

Step 6. ANSWER: The age of Meg is 65 years old. Note that Carl is 60 years old and Rita is 30 years old.

Find the 50th term in the arithmetic sequence 1,5,9,....

Step 1. The constant for this sequence is 4 since 5-1=4 and 9-5=4.

Step 2. Using this constant, we have 1+(n-1)*4 as the formula. We can check with n=1 or 1+(1-1)*4=1. With n=2, 1+(2-1)*4=5. With n=3, 1+(3-1)4=9. So it checks out.

Step 3. With n=50, then 1+(50-1)*4=197.

Step 4. ANSWER: The 50th term is 197.

If both books have the same number of pages, how many pages are in Jay's favorite book? 1 solutions Answer 166158 by drj(1380)   on 2009-10-04 19:30:20 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jay's favorite book is 182 pages less than three times Mitchel's favorite book. If both books have the same number of pages, how many pages are in Jay's favorite book? Step 1. Let x be the number of pages in Mitchel's book. Step 2. Let 3x be three times the number of pages in Mitchel's book Step 3. Let 3x-182 be the number of pages in Jay's book since it's 182 pages less than three times Mitchel's favorite book Step 4. Then, x=3x-182 since both books have the same number of pages Step 5. Solving the equation in Step 4 yields the following steps: Add 182-x to both sides of the equation Divide 2 to both sides of the equation The number of pages in Jay's book is 3x-182=3*91-182=91 Step 6. The number of pages in Jay's book is 91 pages. I hope the above steps were helpful.

Respectfully, Dr J Problems-with-consecutive-odd-even-integers/221523: Determine whether there are two consecutive odd integers such that 5 times the first exceeds 3 times the second by 54. 1 solutions Answer 166139 by drj(1380)   on 2009-10-04 18:09:35 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine whether there are two consecutive odd integers such that 5 times the first exceeds 3 times the second by 54. Step 1. Let n be the first odd integer. Step 2. Let n+2 be then next consecutive odd integer. Step 3. Let 5n be 5 times the first odd integer. Step 4. Let 3(n+2) be 3 times the second odd integer. Step 5. Then, 5n=3(n+2)+54 since 5 times the first exceeds 3 times the second by 54 Step 6. Solving the equation in Step 5 yields the following steps: Subtract 3n from both sides of the equation Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation yields but n is an even integer. Step 8. ANSWER: Therefore there are no odd integers that satisfies the given problem statement. I hope the above steps were helpful.
