First, you would have to add d to both sides to get rid of it
x+d=ab+c/b
Then you would multiply b by both sides to get rid of the b in the denominator
x+d(b)=ab+c
After that, you would subtract c from both sides
x+d(b)-c=ab
Then you would divide both sides by a
x+d(b)-c=b

<span>Your Answer: D
Why....
You can make equations out of the information
Let L be Lin, G be Greg, and F be Fran
L = 4 + G ---"Lin sold 4 more shirts than Greg"
F = 3L ---"Fran sold 3 times as many shirts as Lin"
F + G + L = 51 ---"In total the three sold 51 shirts"
Use F + G + L = 51
Substitute the equations in for F and L (because you need to know the G) like this....
(3L) + G + (4+G) = 51
You still have a variable besides G in there... you can use the L= 4+G and substitute again so that there are only G's
( 3(4+G) ) + G + (4+G) = 51 ---- SIMPLIFY :D
( 12 + 3G ) + G + 4 + G = 51
12 + 3G + G + 4 + G = 51 ---Combine like terms
16 + 5G = 51 </span>
Vary Directly: y = k*x
Vary Inversely: y = k/x
Because x and y vary directly, our equation will look like the first one.
y = k*x
With the inputted values:
-16 = k * 4
Now, to find k, isolate the variable
k = -16/4 = -4
Your final equation will then look like this:
y = -4 * x
Answer:
The required equation is: y=-3
Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write equation of line that is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through (-4,-3).
The equation of line in slope-intercept form is expressed as: 
where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Finding Slope:
Comparing with the given equation y=5, the slope m =0
The slope of required line will be opposite reciprocal of 0 as both lines are perpendicular. so it will be m=0
Finding y-intercept
The y-intercept can be found using slope m=0 and point (-4,-3)
So, y-intercept b is b=-3
The equation of required line having slope m=0 and y-intercept b=-3 is
So, required equation is: y=-3
Option D is correct.
