Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 1) -x = 17 Distribute the 5

5x + 5 - x = 17 Combine like terms

4x + 5 = 17 Subtract 5 from both sides

4x = 12 Divide both sides by 4

x = 3

Three is the smaller integer and 4 is the greater integer.

Convert 2x - 3y + 1 = 0 to slope-intercept form

Dafna11 [192]

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. our goal is to get y by itself on one side of the equation.

2x-3y+1=0
2x+1=3y
3y=2x+1
y=(2/3)x+1/3

That is the same function but in slope-intercept form.
