3x+6y=12
-3x -3x
6y=-3x+12
*divide by 6 on both sides*
y= -1/2x+2
Slope: -1/2
Y-intercept: 2

The equation, in slope-intercept form; that is, "y = mx + b" ; is:
______________________________________________________
y = (-1/2)x + 2 ;
__________________________________________________________

The slope, "m" = -(1/2)

The y-intercept, "b" = 2 ; that is, "(0, 2)" .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________
Given the linear equation: " 3x + 6y = 12 "; which is written in "standard form"; that is: "Ax + By = C" ;

Rewrite the equation in "slope-intercept format"; or: " y = mx + b " ;
in which "y" is isolated as a "single variable" on the "left hand side";
"m" is the coefficient of "x" ; and "m" = the slope of the line; and
"b" is the "y-intercept" of the graph;
(that is, the coordinates of the "y-intercept of the graph are: "(0, b)" .__________________________________________________
Given: 3x + 6y = 12 ; Subtract "3x" from EACH side of the equation:
__________________________________________________
3x + 6y − 3x = 12 − 3x ;

to get: 6y = 12 − 3x ; ↔ Rewrite as: 6y = -3x +12 ;
__________________________________________
Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6"; to isolate "y" on the "left-hand side" of the equation; and to rewrite the equation in "slope-intercept format" ;
_________________________________________________________
6y / 6 = [-3x +12] / 6 ;

to get:

y = (-3/6)x + (12/6) ;

↔ y = (-1/2)x +2

The slope, "m", is -(1/2); The y-intercept is "2"; (0,2) .

PLS HELP!!! Find the value of x in each figure and place the correct value into the box. Assume that the lines are parallel.

torisob [31]

Answer:

3x – 2 = 76 (Alternate Interior Angles)

3x = 76 + 2

3x = 78

x= 26°.

x + 2 = 40 (Alternate Interior angles).

x = 40 - 2

x= 38

Jackie filled the blue water balloon with 12.25 ounces of water and the red water balloon with 5.5 ounces of water.

zloy xaker [14]

Hey You!

12.25 - 5.5 = 6.75

The blue balloon had 6.75 more ounces of water than the red one.

Find the missing side: What’s the missing side

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² = 13² + 4² = 169 + 16 = 185 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{185}$ ≈ 13.6 ( to 1 dec. place ) → B

the length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice its width find the dimensions of the rectangle if the perimeter is 48 inches

irinina [24]

So first you would set up the equation of 48 = x + x + 3(2)x + 3(2)x. Perimeter is equal to width + width + length + length-- x is width, length is 3 times 2x, so that's where that equation comes from. You combine like terms and get 48 = 2x + 6x + 6x or 48 = 14x. You then divide by 14 and get x ≈ 3.4. Then to find the dimensions you substitute it back to what I said the dimensions were. Width is x, so width is around 3.4. Length is 3 times twice the width (x) so 3(2x) or 6x. So you substitute ≈3.4 for x and get ≈20.6. The width is ≈3.4 and the length is ≈20.6 (the dimensions).
