Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!

We need to distribute and add like terms on both sides.
5x+20=20+4x
Now let's try to isolate x by first subtracting 4x from both sides.
x+20=20
Now, subtract 20 from both sides.
X=0
So, let's try to plug in 0 for x to check.
5(0+4)=2(0)+20+2(0)
5(4)=0+20+0
20=20
So, x=0.
Also, let's see where the lines intersect. The intersection will be the y intercept.

Answer:

F) y=3x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=3(x-(-5))

y+2=3(x+5)

y=3x+15-2

y=3x+13

Kensington City Cafe recently introduced a new flavor of coffee. They served 28 grande cups

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

jumbo 23 oz, grande 16 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Use g for grande and j for jumbo

The first equation: 28g + 33j = 1207

The second equation: 28g + 53j = 1667

Subtract the first from the second

28g + 53j = 1667

- 28g + 33j = 1207

Equal 20j = 460

j = 23

Put 23 in for j in either equation and solve for g:

28g + 33(23) = 1207

28g + 759 = 1207

28g = 448

g = 16

Ganezh [65]

Probability that the first card is not a club is 1 minus probability that it is a club. i.e. 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
Probability that the second card is a diamond = 1/4
Probability that the first card is not a club AND the second card is a diamond is 3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = -3x - 9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0

When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)
