Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant is a number that doesn't change at all. 8x² is not a constant because this number increases every time you plug in an x. -7x is also not a constant because this number decreases every time you plug in x.

We also know 6 is a constant because it is the y-intercept. No matter what, the y-intercept does not change. Therefore, 6 is the constant.

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'x', isolate it. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, what you do to one side you have to do to the other.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17=10$ Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.
