The number of observations is 15
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
Y intercept:
Y=-6-9(0)
=-6
(0,-6)
I’m assuming the slope is the gradient if that’s the case then it would be -9 since
Y=mx+c
m is the gradient and in this case it’s -9
Answer:
$100.87 (to the nearest cent)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 gallon = 27 miles
⇒ number of gallons needed to drive 838 miles = 838 ÷ 27 = 31.0370370... gallons
1 gallon = $3.25
⇒ total cost to drive 838 miles = 3.25 x 838/27 = $100.87 (to the nearest cent)
