The way that it is written is odd.

If the problem was 3(x-5)=30, it would be 3x-15=30.

Add 15 to both sides.

3x=45

Divide both sides by 3.

x=15

If it's supposed to be 3(x-5)<30, your answer would be the same, except:

x<15.

I'm not sure why it has both signs, especially next to each other.

I hope this helps :)

SOS PLEASE HELP <br>write the equation for this line <br>

Deffense [45]

If this is for slope-intercept, the equation is: y = 3x + 1

To find the slope, you would find the rise over run ( $\frac{rise}{run}$ ). So, you would start where the graph intersect at the y-axis, which is 1. You would go up 3 times, and right 1 time. So, $\frac{3}{1}$ , or 3, would be your slope. To find the y-intercept, you would need to find where the graph intersects at the y-axis, which is 1, so it would be your y-intercept. Plug them into the y = mx + b formula and the answer is <em>y = 3x + 1</em>.
