Ok so you divide the bill by 2 because you each are paying half. You knock off $4 because you owed him that from last time and you pay $9. So this would equal to b/2 -4 =9. If you work it out in reverse, you get 4+9 which equals 13 then multiplied by 2 which means the total bill was $26.
So we have 5+3x=11. We subtract 5 from both sides and get 3x=6. we divide both sides by 3 and get x=2. Daniella skated for 2 hours
We can use the factor label method for this problem. The real hint to these types of equations are the units. In this case the units are in miles per hour for the rate.
15 miles/ 2.5 hours = 6mph or 6 miles/hours
If his rate was 1 mph slower we just subtract 1 from 6 mph
6mph - 1mph= 5 mph.
Hope this helps, good luck.
First write the equation
3/n = 5
Multiply both sides by n
3/n * n = 5 * n
Simplify
3 = 5 * n
Divide both sides by 5
3/5 = 5 * n/5
Simplify
3/5 = n
Divide
0.6 = n
So 3/0.6 = 5
1) 14
2) -10
3) 23

The slope of 6x + 2y = 4 is
y = -3x + 2
