This is a linear equation in x.

x + 6 = 2x-7

Adding -2x to both sides we obtain,

x +6 - 2x = -7

Now let's again add -6 to both sides of the equation, This implies that:

x-2x = -7-6

Let us simplify further to obtain,

-x = - 13

Let's multiply through by -1 to obtain

x = 13

CHECK

13 +6 = 2(13) - 7

13 + 6 = 26 -7

19 = 17

COOKING Franklin is cooking a 3-pound turkey breast for 6 people. If the number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the num

Gwar [14]

<u>Answer-</u>

2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.

<u>Solution-</u>

Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.

Taking,

x = number of people,

y = pounds of turkey.

This condition can be represented as,

$\Rightarrow y\ \alpha \ x\\\Rightarrow y=kx$

As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3

$\Rightarrow 3=k\times 6$

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}$

Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}x$

Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.

All the calculations are shown in the attached table.

Write an equation of the line below.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=4x+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of aline:

$y=mx+b$

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfraxc{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph we have the points:

(-2, -5)

y-intercept (0, 3) → <em>b = 3</em>

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{3-(-5)}{0-(-2)}=\dfrac{8}{2}=4$

Put the value of the slope and the y-intercept to the equation of a line:

$y=4x+3$

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

(a) 51%

(b) 41%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify this problem down by realizing that the amount of girls over 200 will get us our percentage as a decimal.

Looking at this table, we can see that $30+72=102$ girls were asked. So, $102\div200=0.51$ , and $0.51\cdot100=51$ .

We can also see that $30+52=82$ people preferred video games, so $82\div200=0.41$ , and $0.41\cdot100=41$ .

Hope this helped!
