Well, first you'd have to get the x by it's self.
10x+1=3x+9
Subtract 3x from each side and you'll have the x on only one side rather than two.
7x+1=9
Now I'd get rid of the 1 on the x's side. So just subtract 1 from each side.
7x=8
Then you should make it so the seven isn't there with the x either. Just divide each side by 7.
Answer: x=8/7
Each time you change something on one side, you must do the same to the other side. T find the value of a variable in an equation, simple seclude it so it's on it's own without number to make things confusing.
The answer was x=8/7 btw.

The table shows a linear function. Which equation represents the function?

4vir4ik [10]

Question is not complete and so I have attached the complete question.

Answer:

C: f(x) = -½x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope formula between 2 points, we know that;

slope; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let's consider 2 points from the table;

(0, 4) and (-4, 6)

Thus;

m = (6 - 4)/(-4 - 0)

m = 2/-4

m = -½

Now using slope intercept form equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), we can find the equation of the function by picking on point say (0, 4).

Thus;

y - 4 = -½(x - 0)

y - 4 = -½x

y = -½x + 4

Thus;

f(x) = -½x + 4
