Alright, so we want to know how many times 1/3 goes into 3 to see how many friends got cards. To do that, we divide 3 by 1/3, getting 3/(1/3)=(3/1)/(1/3)=
(3/1)*(3/1)=9 friends
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, so we simply have to solve for y...
3y+5x=-15 subtract 5x from both sides
3y=-5x-15 divide both sides by 3
y=-5x/3-5 or more neatly in my opinion...
y=(-5x-15)/3
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then proceed, let's notice that by PEMDAS or order of operations, the multiplication is done first, and then any sums.

First one simplifies to 2x + 6 = 2x + 7 which can't be true so this one has No Solution.
Same applies to the second equation ( 5x + 15 = 5x - 15) No solution
also the last one has no solution because it simplifies to 4x + 20 = 4x + 19
