<span>3x + (x-8) = 23
Combine like terms first. You can combine 3x and x because they have the same variable.
4x - 8 = 23
Now add 8 to both sides.
4x = 31
Last step is to divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x.
4/4x = 31/4
x = 7.75 is the answer.</span>
Answer:
y - 4 = -2/3 (x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 -2 - 4 / 8 - (-1) -6/9 = -2/3
y - 4 = -2/3 (x + 1)
1. you have to figure out what 3/4 of Ella's time is.

(You find that out by multiplying 5x1. Then add 3.)
2. Convert the fractions into decimals. (This will help make it easier when dividing.)


3. Next you are going to divide 1.6 by .75

4. Now multiple 2.13 by 5.

Answer is 10
