Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b
8.18 in for y
1.31 in for m
17.2 in for b
8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2
Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x
-9.02 = 1.31x
Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31
x ≈ -6.8855
x is roughly -6.89
Hope this helped!

A system that can be affected by the outside environment, by an exchange of matter or energy is an open physical system .
Answer:
4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.
