Answer:
variable is (<em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>)</em>
<em>∆</em><em>product</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>:</em>
<em>8</em><em> </em><em>x</em>
<em>∆</em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em> </em><em>increase</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em>
<em>8</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em>
<em>And</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em>'re</em><em> </em><em>done</em><em> </em><em>♥️</em>
For this, I'll be using the substitution method. Since y = 1/3x - 6, replace the y variable in the first equation with 1/3x - 6 and solve for x:

Now that we have the value of x, plug it into either equation to solve for y:

<h3><u>In short, the solution to this equation is (3,-5).</u></h3>
Yes but to understand the answer, we need to dig into the mechanics of correlation. Correlation is a mathematical relationship between the change in two variables. For causation to occur without correlation, we must therefore lack that mathematical relationship.
It would be a linear function
Before we do this problem, let's go over a little algebra terminology.
The number in front of your variable is called your <em>coefficient </em>and notice that the <em>x</em> at the end of the problem does not have a coefficient.
When that happens, when there is no number in front of your variable, you can put a 1 there to fill that position. So -x can be thought of as -1x.
Next let's change all our minus signs to plus negatives.
So the problem reads 3x + 5 + 7x + -3 + -1x + 2.
Now let's simplify this by combining like terms.
We can combine our "x" terms first.
3x + 7x + -1x simplifies to +9x.
Now, 5 + -3 + 2 simplifies to 4.
So our answer is 9x + 4.
