Greetings!

Solve for <em>x</em>.
-2(x+3y)=18
Distribute the Parenthesis. <em>How?</em> Multiply all of the terms inside the parenthesis by the number outside the parenthesis.
(-2)*x+(-2)*3y=18
-2x-6y=18
Add 6y to both sides.
(-2x-6y)+6y=(18)+6y
-2x=18+6y
Divide both sides by -2.
(-2x)/-2=(18+6y)/-2
The Answer Is:
x=-9-3y
x=-3y-9

Hope this helps.

We are given with:
Average height of plants to be at least 73 inches

Three plants with heights of
70, 71, 72

The inequality that can be used to determine the possible heights of the fourth plant is:
(70 + 71 + 72 + x) / 4 ≥ 73
Solving for x
x ≥ 79

Answer:

  y -1 = -1(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line through the two points can be found from the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (5 -1)/(-2 -2) = 4/-4 = -1

The point-slope equation for a line through point (h, k) with slope m is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

You have (h, k) = (2, 1) and m = -1. Putting these values into the form gives ...

  y -1 = -1(x -2)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your problem statement already has two of the three values filled in, so you only need to enter the x-coordinate of the first point: 2.
