Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The equation is
whose solution is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us call
the number of minutes the phone is used over 200 minutes, then we have
<em>(this says monthly bill of $40 plus the cost of phone usage over 200 minutes must equal $58 )</em>
This equation can be used to solve for
u as follows:



the cheap answer is simply
(x-5)(x²+4x-2)
we can simply multiply the terms on one by the terms of the other and then add like-terms and simplify.

Make it into y = mx + b
2y = -3x + 6
Divide by 2
Y = -3/2x + 3
The slope is -3/2
