The first thing I'd do is put this equation into standard slope - intercept form.
12x - 5y = 2 Subtract 12x from each side
-5y = -12x + 2 Divide each side by -5 to isolate the <em>y
</em><em />y = 12/5(x) - 2/5
The slope for this equation is 12/5, so we just take that and plug it into the slope - intercept equation with the given points (2, 3)
y = mx + b Fill in the variables
3 = 12/5(2) + b Simplify
3 = 24/5 + b Subtract 24/5 (or 4 4/5) from each side
-9/5 = b
Now we just fill in the correct variables (m and b) in the equation to have our final answer.
y = 12/5x - 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:
Mary worked 22 hours.
To solve first you would subtract the amount she made in tips from her total earnings (317-185)
= 132
Then you divide that answer by her hourly salary of $6 (132/6)
=22
Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
