1/3( 4 - 5x - 1)
= (1/3)(4 + - 5x + - 1)
= (1/3)( 4) + (1/3)(- 5x) + (1/3)( - 1)
= 4/3 + - 5x/3 + - 1/3
= - 5x/3 + 1 (Decimal: - 1.666667x + 1)

Answer:
The number of students that bring their lunches is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of students that bring their lunches
y -----> the total number of students in a class
we know that
The number of students that bring their lunches divided by the total number of students in a class must be equal to 3/8
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
substitute the value of y in equation A and solve for x
therefore
The number of students that bring their lunches is 12

Answer:
- red division: 6 teams
- blue division: 5 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.
r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue
4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week
__
Solving by substitution, we have ...
r = b +1
4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r
8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify
8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5
b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7
r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r
There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
Answer:
No, you would graph the y-intercept, you do not graph the m-value (slope). The slope value is the rate that the y-value increases per unit of x. This is how you graph your line from the y-intercept
