Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 2x − 1, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process. Jeff solved a similar

equation below. Is Jeff's solution correct? Explain why or why not. 3x − 2 = 5(x + 2) 3x − 2 = 5x + 10 8x = 8 x = 1

You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = 12x + 7. What is the slope of the equation? −12 −7 12 7
BabaBlast [244]
Well,

Slope-intercept form is given as follows:
y = mx + b

In this equation, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.

y = 12x + 7

We can clearly see that the 12 in the equation is the "m" in the general slope-intercept form.

Therefore, the slope of the equation is 12.
