Answer: It took 18 Months for Michelle to collect 59 dolls.
Explanation:
First, let’s right an equation for this. Michelle started with 5 dolls in a bar collection (I have no clue what that is but i’ll roll with it), and each month she bought 3 more, so 5 dolls plus the 3 dolls per month equals 59 at some point.
5 dolls + 3 dolls per month = 59 dolls
OR
5 + 3m = 59
The point of this question is to find how many months (m) it took in order to get to 59 dolls and there’s multiple ways you can do this:
1) just plug in random numbers into m to see how long it takes to get to 59 [this option might take a while]
2) Try to isolate m (get every number out of the equation) to find out the value of m. [I’m most familiar with this way]
First, subtract 5 from 5 in the equation in order to get rid of it, since we’re trying to get all whole numbers out of the equation and only have m left. You subtract 5 from 59 since the equal sign is kind of like a mirrror, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So, 5-5 is 0, and 59- is 54.
Now you’re left with 3m=54. In order to isolate the m, divide 3 by 3 to get rid of the 3, then divide 54 by 3, which is 18.
In order to check your work, plug 18 into m just to see if it works or not:
5+3m=59 —-> 5+ 3(18)= 59
3 times 18 is 54, plus 5 is 59. So, Mi hells took 18 months to collect her 59 dolls. Hope this helped!
Answer:
x=0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
-(-2x+1)=9-14x
distribute:
2x-1=9-14x
add 1 to both sides
2x = 10-14x
add 14x to both sides
16x=10
divide by 16 to isolate x
x = 0.625
check:
-(-2(0.625)+1) = 9-14(0.625)
0.25 = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:
are you siruous
X + y = 1
add - y both sides
x + y + - y = 1 + - y
x = - y + 1
Answer: x = - y + 1
Graph: y = - x + 1
x + 7y = - 4
add - 7 both sides
x + 7y + - 7y = - 4 + -7y
x = - 7y - 4
Answer: x = - 7y - 4
Graph: y = 0.142857x - 0.571429
2x - 6y = 4
add 6y to both sides
2x - 6y + 6y = 4 + 6y
2x = 6y + 4
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 6y + 4/2
x = 3y + 2
Answer: x = 3y + 2
Graph: y = 0.333333x - 0.666667
5x + 15y = - 10
add - 15 to both sides
5x + 15y + - 15y = - 10 + - 15y
5x = - 15y - 10
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = - 15y - 10/5
x = - 3y - 2
Answer: x = - 3y - 2
Graph: y = - 0.333333x - 0.666667
2x + 6y = 10
add - 6y to both sides
2x + 6y + - 6y = 10 + - 6y
2x = - 6y + 10
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = - 6y + 10/2
x = - 3y + 5
Answer: x = -3y + 5
Graph: y = - 0.333333x + 1.666667
Hope that helps!!!
