1.
(x/2) - 7 = 11
2.
2x + 7 = 27
3.
2x - 5 = 25
Hope this helped!! (:
Hello!
First of all, let's undo the parentheses.
8x+6=18
Now we subtract 6 from both sides.
8x=12
Finally, we divide both sides by 8.
x=1.5
I hope this helps!
3.6 is the answer because you just multiply it together
The first thing I would probably do is distribute (multiply) the -5/2 into the parenthesis:
= (-5/2)x + (-20/2)
Notice how I am not putting the x into the fraction. This is to make it easier to see the slope-intercept form.
Lets simplify the (-20/2) and then add 7 to both sides:
y - 7 = (-5/2)x - 10
y = (-5/2)x - 3
Your answer would then be:
y = (-5/2)x - 3
y = mx + b
Since it is now in the requested format.
