X - the fraction

17- 12x=\frac{1}{3} \times 17+6 \\
17-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6-17 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-11 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-\frac{33}{3} \\
-12x=-\frac{16}{3} \\
x=-\frac{16}{3} \times (-\frac{1}{12}) \\
x=\frac{16}{36} \\
x=\frac{4}{9}

The fraction is 4/9.

Determine the equation of the line passing through the point (0, -4), with a slope of m = 5
Vinvika [58]

The equation of the line is:

y + 4 = 5(x - 0) [point-slope form]

y = 5x - 4 [slope-intercept form]

<h3>How to Find the Equation of a Line?</h3>

Using the point-slope form, the equation of a line that has a slope of m, and passes through a point (a, b), can be written as: y - b = m(x - a).

Given the following:

Slope (m) = 5

Point on the line (a, b) = (0, -4)

Substitute m = 5 and (a, b) = (0, -4) into y - b = m(x - a)

y - (-4) = 5(x - 0)

y + 4 = 5(x - 0)

Or rewrite in slope-intercept form as:

y + 4 = 5x

y = 5x - 4

SOLVE THE SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS BY USING SUBSTITUTION.<br>y = -x - 6<br>y=x-4​
juin [17]
Put X-4 to where Y is in the first equation. So;
X-4= -X-6
Then solve to find X;
Add 6 to both sides;
X+2=-X
Subtract X from both sides;
2=-X-X
2= -2X
Divide both side by -2;
-1=X
