Answer: how many square feet are there? multiple each square foot by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
In "slope-intercept form"
y = mx +b
the value "m" is called the slope, and the value "b" is called the intercept.
There is another form for the equation of a line, called "point-slope form".
y = m(x -h) +k
where m is still the slope and (h, k) correspond to the (x, y) of the point.
If you write the equation of your line in this "point-slope form", it is easily manipulated to be in the "slope-intercept form".
Fill in
m = (-3/5)
h = -4
k = 0
y = (-3/5)(x -(-4)) +0
Now, you simplify this by using the distributive property.
y = (-3/5)x -(3/5)*4
y = (-3/5)x -12/5 . . . . . . . . . the desired equation

Your understanding of math improves immensely when you become familiar with the terminology. A lot of the rest of it is pattern matching--identifying the parts of one expression that correspond to the parts of another one.
(You will see another version of the "point-slope form", but I find this one the easiest to use for manipulating the equation to other forms.)
The value of x is 1
Explanation:
The equation is 
Subtracting both sides by 3, we get,

Taking log on both sides, we get,

Rewriting the equation by 
Thus, we have,

Applying log rule, if
, then 
Thus, 
Substituting
in
, we get,

Also, since,
, then 
Thus, 
Hence, the value of x is 1
Answer:
The attorney worked for 32.5 hours in order for his total bill to be $3,500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation with some variables:
= hours of service
= total bill

Plugging in our given values, we get:

And solving for
, the hours the attorney worked, we get:
