Well, let's take a peek at the graph of that line, hmmm let's pick two points, heck, those tow on the extremes anyway, and those are (-5,2) and (5,-1), alrite.. now, let's do some checking on that.

Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
18x-3=17x+4
simplify
×=7
Answer:
5x-5-3-1=-12
5x-9=-12
5x=-12+9
5x=-3
x=-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 36 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> distance the kitten runs before being caught by the puppy
Remember that
The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time
v=d/t
solve for t
t=d/v
so
equate the time
x/20=(180+x)/25
25x=20(180+x)
25x=3,600+20x
25x-20x=3,600
x=3,600/5=720 m
t=d/v=720/20=36 sec
or
t=(720+180)/25=900/25=36 sec
