Answer:
y = -3 m = -1 b = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3y=3x-9
To isolate the y variable, divide both sides by -3.
y = -1x + 3
y = -3
m = -1
b = 3
1/4 of 100 is 25 dollars.
<u>Answer:4.75</u>
<u>Since we don't have a total cost we will write an equation that will allow us to find the cost of x. The equation is 4x= 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75. Now that we have our equation we are going to start by adding 3, 3.75, and 2.75. When added together, they come out with a total of 9.5. Now the equation becomes 4x= 2x + $9.50. Since we have our new equation we are going to subtract 2x from both sides of the equation. We now have the equation 2x= $9.50. Finally, you will divide both sides by 2. This leaves us with the final outcome x= $4.75. This means that one glues stick cost $4.75. Let's check by substituting $4.75 as the value of x in the expressions 4x is Carlo's total and 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75 is Helen's total. First we do 4x, 4 multiplied by 4.75 equals 19, so Carlo spent $19 on art supplies. Now we do 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75, which is 9.5 added to 9.5 and equals 19. So Helen spent $19 on art supplies. This proves that the cost of one glue stick, x, is equal $4.75.</u>

Answer:
10 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenny has read 50 pages and will read 15 each day.
The equation would be: 15x+50
Mark will read 20 pages daily.
The equation would be: 20x
In both equations x represents days.
You set both equal to each other because you want to know when they read the same amount of pages.
15x+50=20x
...you subtract 15x from both sides
50=5x
...and divide by five to get: 10 days
