Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing out the given equation.

-2x + y = -3

The goal is to isolate the variable y.

For this equation, all you need to do is add 2x to each side.

-2x + y + 2x = -3 + 2x

Therefore, the answer is y = 2x -3.

I don't know if you are are familiar with the equation y = mx + b, but here's a little refresher. m is the slope, or in this case 2. b is the y-intercept, or in this case -3.

The equation y = mx + b is slope intercept form, so if you know this, you should be able to write any equation in slope intercept form.

Hope this helps!

Okay so- im really stuck (help is well appreciated)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x<= 5.

So 5 and all the numbers less than 5 would be an answer for x.

So you would put a closed dot on 5, because x can equal 5. Then put a line pointing right to all the numbers less than 5.

For a smoothing constant of 0.2

Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52

Forecast – 58 55.6 55.48 52.18 50.15 52.72 52.97 53.38 54.90

Forecast error - -12 -.6 -16.48 – 10.12 12.85 1.28 2.03 7.62 -2.9
The mean square error is 84.12

The mean forecast for period 11 is 54.38
For a smoothing constant of 0.8

Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52

Forecast – 58 48.40 53.68 41.94 41.99 58.80 54.96 54.99 59.80

Forecast error - -12 6.60 -14.68 0.06 21.01 -4.80 0.04 6.01 -7.80The mean square error is 107.17

The mean forecast for period 11 is 53.56

Based on the MSE, smoothing constant of .2 offers a better model since the mean forecast is much better compared to the 53.56 of the smoothing constant of 0.8.

Simplify the expression 4y - 1 - 3y + 2

victus00 [196]

Okay, so basically all you need to do is combine like terms!
in this case, 4y and -3y are like terms... and -1 and 2 are like terms
so, 4y - 3y is 1y or y
and -1 + 2 is 1

so your simplified answer is y + 1

I hope this helps!!
