You first subtract 1/5 from both sides
3/4-1/5 = 11/20
3/2x=11/20
now you multiply 2/3 on both sides since you have to get x
11/20 * 2/3
x = 11/30
Answer:
y = -4/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Label the given points as follows:
A (0, 5)
B (2, 2)
C (3, 1)
D (4, -1)
The straight line has a constant slope. Therefore it should have the same value when any two of the four points are used to calculate the slope.
Try A and B:
Slope = (2 - 5)/(2 - 0) = -3/2
Try A and C:
Slope = (1 - 5)/(3 - 0) = -4/3
Try A and D.
Slope = (-1 - 5)/(4 - 0) = -3/2
Try B and D.
Slope = (-1 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -3/2
Clearly, C does not lie on the straight line.
Answer: The point that the graph does not pass through is (3,1).

Answer:
(x, y) = (8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant equations are ...
3x -y = 22
x +2y = 12
__
We can eliminate y by adding twice the first equation to the second.
2(3x -y) +(x +2y) = 2(22) +(12)
7x = 56
x = 8
Substituting into the first equation gives ...
3(8) -y = 22
y = 24 -22 = 2
The first number is 8; the second number is 2.
