You can have a y=mx+b format equation. The m equals the slope and b equals the y intercept.
Two significant figures.
The trailing zero is not significant
No solutions. It would be: 9x-12=9x+12. The difference is that one of the 12’s is negative and one is positive. Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
Before budget change :
Maintenance = 1 - 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/4 = 1/12
After budget change :
Maintenance = 1 - 1/3 - 1/8 - 1/4 = 7/24
Difference in budget for maintenance = 7/24 - 1/12 = 5/12
