X+(-y)
x=-2,3
y=-5,9
-2,3-(-5,9)=-2,3+5,9=3,6
the value of the expresion x+(-y) is 3,6

X + (-y) = -2.3 + ( - (-5.9) ) = -2.3 + 5.9 = 3.6

Solve for d:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c is equivalent to 2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b:
2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b
Add 3 c to both sides:
2 d = 3 c + (3 (a + x))/b
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: d = (3 c)/2 + (3 (a + x))/(2 b)

-----------------------------

Solve for x:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Multiply both sides by b/3:
a + x = (2 b d)/3 - b c
Subtract a from both sides:
Answer: x = (2 b d)/3 + (-a - b c)

____________________________

Solve for b:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Take the reciprocal of both sides:
b/(3 (a + x)) = 1/(2 d - 3 c)
Multiply both sides by 3 (a + x):
Answer: b = (3 (a + x))/(2 d - 3 c)

Find a linear equation to model this real-world application:

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Solution:

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

$y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650$

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650
