To solve, we must get x by itself. the first step we must take is to remove all of the parentheses. To do this, we must use distribution to multiply 5 by x - 6.

5(x - 6) = 3x - 18 + 2x

5x - 30 = 3x - 18 + 2x

Next, we must add like terms.

5x - 30 = 5x - 18

Finally, we must get x by itself. to do this, we must subtract 5x from both sides.

5x - 30 - 5x = 5x - 18 - 5x

Then, we add like terms again.

-30 = -18

Because this is a false statement, the equation is a contradiction.

Answer:

3a) y = -0.1x +26000

3b) $16500

4a) y = 8.2x - 16451.27

4b) 79.93

Step-by-step explanation:

3a) y = -0.1x +26000

3b) If the odometer reads 95000 we need to plug in that value for x: y = -0.1(95000) + 26000 = $16500

4a) y = 8.2x - 16451.27

4b) To estimate the number the rabbits in the year 2016, we need to plug in that value for x: y = 8.2(2016) - 16451.27 = 79.93 = 80 rabbits
