H = 6. if you were to plug in 6 and simplify, if would be 2/3.
Answer:
x = -21
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>Words To Algebra:</h2>
Words : Five more than one-third of a number = -2
Algebraic Equation: 5 + (1/3)x = -2
<h2>Isolate x:</h2>
5 + (1/3)x = -2 Subtract 5 from both sides
5 + (1/3)x - 5 = -2 - 5
(1/3)x = -7 Multiply All sides by 3
(1/3)x * 3 = -7 * 3
x = -21
<h2 /><h2>Check:</h2>
5 + (1/3)-21 = -2
5 + -7 = -2
-2 = -2

The answer is kinda hard and easy so I will explain how to do it but not answer. So first you divide 105 by 7 to get the number of pounds of food per snake. Then you times it by 3 for 3 snakes, by 5 for 5 snakes, and by 10 for ten snakes. At least that is what I think. Hope this helped!!
Do you know the what the the slope intercept form is?
