can someone please help me asap with this two problems I'm really stuck here.
1) solve for j if b=j+v/2
2) 9r+9s+9
1. b=j+v/2
b-v/2=j
j=b-v/2
2. what are we supposed to do with the expression, factorize?
9r+9s+9
=9(r+s+1)
Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b
(8,9); 7x+y=2
teh equation of the line is y = ?
Of course, I'll be happy to help you with these problems. Let's tackle them one by one:
1) To solve for j in the equation b = j + v/2, we need to isolate j on one side of the equation.
First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:
2b = 2j + v
Next, we can isolate j by subtracting v from both sides:
2b - v = 2j
Lastly, divide both sides by 2 to solve for j:
j = (2b - v)/2
So, the solution for j is (2b - v)/2.
2) In the equation 9r + 9s + 9, there is no specific unknown variable to solve for. It seems to be an expression rather than an equation.
To simplify the expression, we can factor out the common factor of 9 from each term:
9(r + s + 1)
Thus, the simplified form of 9r + 9s + 9 is 9(r + s + 1).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
