You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
Child=x
Adult=y
y=3x
5.2x+9.9y=767.8
5.2x+9.9(3x)=767.8
5.2x+29.7x=767.8
34.9x=767.8
x=22
16 - -15 = 31 (negative - negative = positive)
hope this helps! :)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, a ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, - 4 )
m = =
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
2x - 3y = 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 3y = - 2x + 6 ( divide through by - 3 )
y = x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
= , so
- 4 - a = 2 ( add 4 to both sides )
-a = 6 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a = - 6 → A
