The answer would be option A "Statement: 60 = 3x + 15; Reason: substitution." Remember that substitution means replacing something with something else. In this case you would be replacing variables separating the term and the variable in two different equations to get your answer.
Therefore your answer is indeed option A.
Hope this helps.
Ratio is 5girls:7boys with total 72 students
5+7= 12
72➗12= 6
6(5:7)= 30 girls : 42 boys
New ratio is 3:4 with 48 boys
48➗4= 12
So for girls 3x12= 36
<span>So started with 30 girls ended with 36 girls... 6 girls joined band during the school year.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope. a parallel line must have the same slope.
in our case here it is -3.
b is the y-intercept (the point, where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning the y value when x=0).
we get b by using the point coordinates in the equation and solve for b :
-4 = -3×-9 + b = 36 + b
b = -40
so, the full equation of the parallel line is
y = -3x - 40
