Um this seems really confusing!
Solve the equation:
– 3b – (– 2) = 4b <span>– 12
</span>– 3b + 2 = 4b – 12
– 3b = 4b – 12 – 2
– 3b = 4b – 14
– 3b – 4b = – 14
– 7b = – 14
– 14
b = ———
– 7
b = 2 <——— solution.
I hope this helps. =)
21 students sleep for 9 hours each night
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Mr.Lee wants to survey 20 of the 210 students in seventh grade about the hours they sleep each night
He finds 2 of the 20 students surveyed sleep for 9 hours each night
Therefore, 2 out of 20 students sleep for 9 hours each night
Find out the percentage of 2 out of 20
Thus 10 % of 210 students sleep for 9 hours each night
Find out 10 % of 210
Thus 21 students sleep for 9 hours each night
Answer:
y= -1/2x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
By standard form, I'm assuming you mean slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. First, we need to find m, or the slope. To do this, we need to plug it into this equation: m= y2-y1/x2-x1. We can rewrite this with our two points, so we make it into m= -5+3/2+2. I did plus signs because if you subtract a negative number from a number, it has the same effect as addition does. Now, we have m= -2/4, which we can simplify to -1/2. Now, we have y=-1/2x+?. Now, let's plug in the numbers in slope-intercept form. I'll choose the ordered pair (-2, -3) for this example. Now that I've plugged the numbers in y=mx+b form (slope-intercept form), we have -3=(-1/2⋅-2)+b. Now, we solve it. First, we do the problem in the parenthesis, from that, we get 1. Now, we have -3=1+b, let's subtract 1 from both sides. Now, we have -4=b. That means our y-intercept is -4. Let's plug this back in the equation. We get y=-1/2x-4. I hope this helps!
3x-8=31
step 1: move -8 to the other side
3x -8 = 31
3x= 8+31
3x= 39
step 2: divide 39 by 3
answer: x=13
