Answer:

Paul have $250 and Rachel have $500 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel: 2x

Paul: x

If I gave Rachel $250, then:

Rachel: 2x + 250

Paul: 3x

We have he equation:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = -250

-x = -250

x = 250

Let's make "x" the amount of Paul.

2x = Rachel.

This means that 2x + 250 = 3x.

Solve:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = 250

-x = 250

x = 250

So that means Paul had 250 dollars.

And Rachel had 500 dollars.

2x-3y=2 for graphing systems of linear equations
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

-2/3 is the y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the y-intercept you must first put this in Slope-intercept form, I believe the form it is in right now is called standard form.

To get it into slope intercept form, we have to isolate y:

subtract 2x from both sides:

-3y = -2x + 2

Divide both sides by -3:

y = (2/3)x - 2/3

Now that we have slope-intercept form, we can find the y-intercept. We know slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case the y-intercept is -2/3.

Hope this helps!
