Since the slope stays the same as it's parallel, we have y=(3/4)x+b. Plugging (2,-1) in, we get -1=3*2/4+b=6/4+b=1.5+b. Subtracting 1.5 from both sides, we get -2.5=b and our equation being y=(3/4)x-2.5 (since in y=mx+b, y and x remain as variables)
Answer: 7 packs of gum.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total amount of the purchase is $8.82 and the individual price is $1.26, to find out how many packs Kareem purchased, we need to divide the total amount spent ($8.82) by the amount of each pack ($1.26), so:
8.82 ÷ 1.26 = 7
So, Kareem bought 7 packs of gum.
Answer:
y stands for 21 in this equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
2y - 7 = 35
2y = 42
y = 21
Alrighty!
*Note the ">" sign is similar to the "=" sign.
3m - 3(3m + 8) > 3m
3m - 6m + 24 > 3m (distribute)
-3m + 24 > 3m (combine like terms)
24 > 6m (Compute/simplify)
8 > m
Makes sense?
