Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6x+5+2y)
Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b, in which m = slope
Isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 3x to both sides
-3x (+3x) + 6y = (+3x) + 12
6y = 3x + 12
Fully isolate the y. Divide 6 from both sides (and to all terms)
(6y)/6 = (3x + 12)/6
y = (3x)/6 + (12)/6
Simplify
y = (1/2)x + 2
y = 0.5x + 2 is your equation.
The slope is direclty left of the x (or the m variable). In this case, it is 0.5
0.5 is your answer (or 1/2 if wanted in fraction form)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- volume


Required
The surface area as a function of base length
The volume (V) is calculated as:



Make y the subject

Substitute 3 for V

The surface area of the open box is:


Substitute: 



Hence, the function is:

No is your answer
Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.
For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5
10 - 5 = 5
5 - 10 = -5
5 ≠ -5
So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.
hope this helps
