To calculate the slope you need to do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So you would get:
(17-12)/(4-9)
5/-5
=-1
Hope this helps.
Subtract 43 from both sides
-6p=-30
Divide both sides by -6
p=5
Final answer: p=5
Answer:
194 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The base fee of $15.99 is going to have to be paid, whether any miles are put on the truck or not. If the number of miles driven is our unknown, if we rent the truck for the base fee of $15.99 and drive it 0 miles, we still have to pay the $15.99. If we do drive it and we have to pay .92 a mile, the expression for that is .92x, where x is the number of miles driven (it is also the variable we are solving for!). The expression for this total cost is .92x + 15.99, and since we paid a total of $194.47, we set our cost equation equal to that number and solve for x:
.92x + 15.99 = 194.47 and
.92x = 178.48 so
x = 194 miles driven
Answer:
-9x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You would distribute first.
− ( x + 3 ) − 2 ( 4x − 3 ) → -x − 3 − 8x + 6
(If you see a negative sign in front of a parenthesis without a number, its usually a negative 1)
From there, you would combine like terms.
-x − 3 − 8x + 6 → -9x + 3
