Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 1/3y to both sides
8x - 1/3y (+1/3y) = 15 (+1/3y)
8x = 15 + 1/3y
Divide 8 from both sides
(8x)/8 = (15 + 1/3y)/8
x = 15/8 + 1/24y
x = 1/24y + 1.875
x = 1/24y + 1.875 is your answer
hope this helps
On the left side, distribute the 2 to x and -3 so the left side should look like 5x+2x-6.
on the right, distribute the -2 to x and -1 so the right side should look like -2x+2.
combine like terms on the left to get 7x-6=-2x+2
add -2x from the right side to the left side to make the equation 9x-6=2 now it's a two step equation.
add 6 to 2 to get 9x=8. divide by 9 and x=8/9.
Answer:
Slope - intercept form
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given that the point (2,-4) and slope 
Equation of the straight line passing through the point (x₁, y₁) and slope 'm'
y - y₁ = m( x-x₁ )
y - (-4) =
( x-2)
⇒ 5( y+4) = 3(x-2)
⇒ 5 y +20 = 3x -6
⇒ 3x - 5 y -6-20 =0
⇒ 3 x -5y -26=0
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
Slope - intercept form
5 y = 3x -26
It would be 500 x 6.5, which is 3250 miles.
