5x+x-3=9
6x-3=9
cancel out 3 3+3 9+3
6x=12 divide six by 6 and by 12 too.
x=12/6=2
x=2
i believe it is 19 if im wrong sorry
I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task. Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
Point A = (-2, -9) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (1, -4) = (x2, y2)
To find the slope of a line, we will need to use the formula for slope or rise over run.



The slope of the given line is indeed "5/3."
Hope this helps.
