Since the equation is in slope-intercept form, we know from the definition of slope-intercept form that 6 is the y-intercept.
Notice that if you go forward, the common ratio is 5. Each new term is found by mult. the previous term by 5.
If, on the other hand, you go backwards (terms decreasing), then you divide a term to find what the previous term was.
Here, divide 1 by 5 to find the first term. It's 1/5.
Answer:
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.
y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.
Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.
This means that 
Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.
This means that 
Replacing in the first equation
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
130 + y = 180 {linear pair}
y = 180 - 130
y = 50°
3x - 6 +8x + 4 + 50 = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}
3x + 8x - 6 + 4 + 50 = 180 {Combine like terms}
11x + 48 = 180
11x = 180 - 48
11x = 132
x = 132/11
x = 12°
