Answer:

x = -42 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

x/6 = -7

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Multiply 6 to both sides

(x/6)(6) = (-7)(6)

x = (-7)(6)

Simplify. Multiply 6 with -7

x = (-7)(6)

x = -42

Answer: x=-42 *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication property of equality is multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number does not change the equation.

x/6=-7

multiply by 6 both sides of an equation.

6x/6=6(-7)

simplify.

7*6=42

6*7=42

42/7=6

42/6=7

It changes to positive to negative.

x=-42

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

and so on

From the table:

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)$

$m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}$

$m=4$

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

$y=mx+b$

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

$1=\left(4\right)2+b$

$8+b=1$

$8+b-8=1-8$

$b=-7$

So putting $b=-7$ and $m=4$ in the slope-intercept form of the line

$y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)$

$y=4x-7$

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

$y=4x-7$

Can someone please help me with this?

Answer: B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve the terms inside of the parenthesis. As a general rule, whenever you multiply two terms that have the same base, you can add their exponents.

Applying this rule, the base in the problem is 6, and the exponents are 3 and -4. The sum of 3 and -4 leaves -1. Therefore, this is one of our solutions:

$(6^-^1)^-^3$

When you have an exponential term raised to another exponent, you can simply multiply the exponents. In the previous solution given above, multiply -1 and -3 to get 3. Therefore our second solution is:

$6^3$
