X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x

3. Rewrite -2x + 3y = 6 in slope intercept form.

zaharov [31]

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+2$

Further explanation:

The standard slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Given equation is:

$-2x+3y=6$

In order to bring the equation in slope-intercept form we have to isolate y on left hand side of equation

So,

Adding 2x on both sides

$-2x+3y+2x=6+2x\\3y=2x+6$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2x+6}{3}\\y=\frac{2x+6}{3}$

Simplifying

$y=\frac{2x+6}{3}\\y = \frac{2x}{3}+\frac{6}{3}\\y=\frac{2}{3}x+2$

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+2$

The difference between a number squared and 10 is 71 just translate please don't solve.

AnnyKZ [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Things I notice about this problem:

"Difference" indicates subtraction.

"Is" means "equals".

When a problem simply says "a number," I replace it with a variable.

It is written out like this: $x^{2} - 10 = 71$ .
