1/2x6 does not belong because it is not a mixed number equation.
In this problem, we have to find the factor which will
make (1 / 10) equal to (2 / 5). Therefore we can write it as:
x (1 / 10) = 2 / 5
where x is the number of people who ate the blueberries
x = (2 / 5) / (1 / 10)
x = 4
<span>Therefore 4 people ate the blueberries.</span>
Your answer can be anything in the form y = mx+8 where you replace m with any real number.
You start with y = mx+b, and then replace the b with the y intercept 8.
The y intercept is where the polynomial crosses the y axis.
The value of m does not matter. So you could have y = 2x+8 or y = 3x+8 for instance. Replace m with whatever your favorite number is.
Answer:
s = 2q + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function has the form:
● y = mx + b
● y is the output of the function
● x is the variabke that we input
● b is the y-intetcept.
Focus on y and x.
Notice that y depends of the value of x. The value of y changes by changing x. So the value of x controls the output y.
y is dependent but x is not.

● 6q = 3s - 9
We want q to be the independent variable wich means that q will be the input. Therefore s should be the output.
The strategy we are going to follow is separating s in one side alone.
● 6q = 3s - 9
Add 9 to both sides
● 6q + 9 = 3s -9 + 9
● 6q + 9 = 3s
Divide both sides by 3
● (6q + 9)/3 = (3s)/3
● (6q)/3 + 9/3 = s
● s = 2q + 3
So the answer is s = 2q + 3
