6x-1=4x+6
subtracting 4x from each side
2x-1=6
adding 1 to each side
2x=7
divide by 2
x=7/2 or 3.5
check: 6(7/2) -1 =4(7/2)+6
21-1 =14+6
20=20 correct
Answer:
4 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
40/10=4
Answer:
⅓x + y = 5⅓
or
⅓x + y = 5.3333333
or
⅓x + y = 16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for slope using rise/run
Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1
(6) - (5) / (-2) - (1)
1 / -3
Slope: -⅓
y = -⅓x + b
solve for b using one of the points
I'll be using (1,5)
Substitute the point into the equation
5 = -⅓(1) + b
5 = -⅓ + b (add ⅓ to both sides)
+⅓ +⅓
5⅓ = b
5⅓ can also be written as 16/3 or 5.333333
The equation is now:
y = -⅓x + 5⅓
Convert to standard form by adding ⅓x to both sides
y = -⅓x + 5⅓
+⅓x +⅓x
Solution: ⅓x + y = 5⅓
