we can write the equation as

x/2 + 7 = 12

x/2 = 12 - 7

x/2 = 5

x = 5 X 2

x= 10

Pls give us model to this question:
Aleks [24]
Rent = 360
Groceries and hhold goods = 240

Given: 
Weekly pay = 720
Groceries and household goods = 1/3 of weekly pay
Rent = 3/4 of money net from groceries.

720 * 1/3 = (720*1)/3 = 240 groceries and household goods
720 - 240 = 480 remaining money for rent
480 * 3/4 = (480*3)/4 = 1440/4 = 360 rental payment
480 - 360 = 120 remaining money.

Joanne spends 360 for rent and 240 for groceries and hhold goods.

I need to graph -0.2x- 0.6y = 0.12
olga2289 [7]
This is under point slope intercept. so Ax+Bx=Cx. you can always change this to slope intercept which will be -.6y=.2x+.12 then give 1 a variable like 1 or 2 or something. then solve it, -.6y=.2+.12, -.6y=.32, y=-.53 so when x is 1, y is -.53. then make x 2 so -.6y=.52 so then when x is 2 y is -.86
