<h2>Solving Equations</h2>
To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.
- If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
- If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
- Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.
We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>
Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:
Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:
Therefore. 
.
<h3>Question 2</h3>
Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:
To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Therefore,

Y - 4.5 = 12.2
your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get
y = 16.7
So your answer would be
A. Add 4.5
and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
The slope-intercept form:
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-4, 47) and (2, -16). Substitute:
Therefore we have:
Put the coordinates of the point (2, -16) to the equation:
Answer: 
Answer:
The pattern is that, every time a 9 is added. This pattern continuous forever.
Step-by-step explanation:
9 X 1 = 9
9 X 2 = 18 (9+9)
9 X 3 = 27 (9+9+9)
Etc.
Answer:
y = -1/3x - 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance between the points. Since the line has to cross through the point (-5,0), count out the slope -1/3 by moving down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. This places the line between -1 and -2 on the y-axis. Looking at the options listed for b in y = mx + b. b = -5/3 is the best option and is between -1 and -2.
