Answer:

divide both sides by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation means to have y alone on the left side equaling a number.

Since the variable y is being multiplied by 3, the next step is to do the opposite operation to "multiplying by 3" which is "dividing by 3." Since the rule in algebra is that you must do the same operation to both sides of an equation, the next step is:

divide both sides by 3

(3,-3), slope 3 write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope

tester [92]

Answer:

y = 3x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 9 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 9 = - 12

y = 3x - 12 ← equation of line

Test worth 75 points ; test score of 96%

vfiekz [6]

Presuming the question is "How many points did he miss", you would find the solution by multiplying the amount of possible points by the test score as a fraction. 96% is the fraction $\frac{96}{100}$ . Therefore, you get the equation $75*\frac{96}{100}$ . This is equal to 72, so he missed 3 points, or 75-72 points.

He missed 3 points.
