Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to get
.
Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3.
On the left, we have x, and on the right, -3(2/3) is -2.
So we have x = -2.
You mean, what is this number?
we can rephrase it like this: the sum of a number x and 8 is 15
which is:
x+8=15
we subtract 8 from both sides and we get
x=7
so the answer is 7.
6 1/8 - (3 3/8 + 2 1/8) =
6 1/8 - (5 4/8) =
5 9/8 - 5 4/8 =
5/8 yds <===
Slope is rise/run
so, you go up 4 times and run across 3 times, this is a positive slope, so the slope is
slope: 4/3
the y-intercept is the line that passes the y-axis, (0, -5),
y-intercept: -5
put it together
4/3x-5
