Answer:

26=x

Step-by-step explanation:

well you need to do the distributive property.

-3(x-2) = -6x+6

9(x+8) = 9x+72

-6x+6=9x+72

now you subtract -6x from -6x and 9x

and add 72 to 6

-6x   +6  =9x +   72

-6x + 72  -6x     -72

78=3x

divide them both by 3

26=x

dangina [55]
X = jane, y = jasmine, z = jocelyn

x + y + z = 56
x = 3z
y = 2z + 2

3z + 2z + 2 + z = 56
6z + 2 = 56
6z = 56 - 2
6z = 54
z = 54/6
z = 9 <==== jocelyn

x = 3z
x = 3(9)
x = 27 <=== jane

y = 2z + 2
y = 2(9) + 2
y = 18 + 2
y = 20 <=== jasmine

As part of a new fitness plan, Sabir walks on a treadmill at the same speed for 15 minuets every morning. The table shows the ca
Reil [10]
The relationship between Sabir and calories he burns can be modeled using a linear function given by:
y=ax+b
where
a=slope
b=y-intercept
from the graph, the slope will be given as follows:
taking points (3,15) and (12,60)
a=(60-15)/(12-3)=5 calories/minute
thus using the slope and a point (3,15) the equation will be:
a(x1-x)=(y1-y)
plugging the values we obtain:
5(x-3)=y-15
5x-15=y-15
thus
y=5x
thus the equation is:
y=5x
