-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.

-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.

-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.

-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.

+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.

-7.8x = -7
Simplified.

-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.

7.8x = 7
Simplified

(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.

x = 1.11428571429
The answer !

I hope this helped !

Marty is taking piano lessons. She is going to practice every afternoon. The 1st week she practiced for 11 minutes each day. The

Answer:

$m=7w+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

It consist is setting up a linear relationship between two variables, given some experimental data. Only 2 points are needed to set up the equation of a line, but if more than 2 points are used, then the result should use statistical approaches like linear regression to find the best-fit line.

For the question at hand, Marty practices his piano lessons 11 minutes the week #1. It provides the first point (1,11). He practices 25 minutes per day on the third week. It gives us another point (3,25). This is enough to find the equation of a line. The general formula for a line, having two points (m1,w1) (m2,w2) is

$\displaystyle m-m_1=\frac{m_2-m_1}{w_2-w_1}(w-w_1)$
