To solve this, it is helpful to set up an equation that reductions and additions of the games. The equation would be:

27 = 1/2v + 3

In this equation, v = the original number of video games. The 1/2 signifies Casey selling his games, and the + 3 shows Casey buying three more.

If we subtract 3 from both sides, we see that 1/2v = 24. Finally, we can multiply each side by 2 to isolate the variable, v, and we get v = 48.

Therefore our final answer is 48 video games.

Hope this is helpful!

Whats the answer of this problem <br> 8-1*0+2/2=??
Reptile [31]
If I'm doing this right, I'm pretty sure the answer would be 7, since 0 + 1 = 1, 8 - 1 = 7, and 7 x 1 = 7.

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)

Y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line,
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

In problems 1 and 3, your equations are written in the y= mx + b form, so you can read the slope and y-intercept directly.

1.
m = -5/2
b = -5

3.
m = -1
b = 3

5.
For problem 5, you need to solve for y to put the equation
in y = mx + b form. Then you can read m and b just like we did
for problems 1 and 3.

4x + 16y = 8

16y = -4x + 8

y = -4/16 x - 8/16

y = -1/4 x - 1/2

m = -1/4

b = -1/2
