Answer:

X=6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5=0.1(x+5)

x-5=0.1x+0.5 (distribute 0.1)

x=0.1x+0.5+5 (add 5 to each side)

x-0.1x=5.5 (subtract 0.1x from each side)

0.9x=5.5 (combine like terms)

x=5.5/0.9 (divide by 0.9 on both sides)

x=6.1 (simplify)

What is the equation of the line x–3y=18 in slope-intercept form? Drag and drop the appropriate number, symbol, or variable to e

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Simple...

you have: x-3y=18

You want to convert it into slope-intercept form or y=mx+b form-->>>

x-3y=18

Isolate the variable-->>

x-3y=18
-x -x

-3y=-x+18

Now simply divide...

$\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{-x+18}{-3}$

y= $\frac{1}{3}x -6$

Thus, your answer.
