Ballance method is just a fance method of helping you remember to DO THE SAME THING TO BOTH SIDES OF AN EQUATION to keep it ballanced
-10=2(-3x+1)
divide BOTH SIDES by 2 to get rid of that 2 in front
-5=-3x+1
minus BOTH SIDES 1
-6=-3x
divide BOTH SIDES by -3
2=x
-x-7=-12
add7 BOTH SIDES
-x+7-7=-12+7
-x+0=-5
-x=-5
multiplY BOTH SIDES -1
x=5
Answer:
gradient = 
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m =
=
=
= 
Here is the equation you need:
3(x + 9) = 2x - 7
You finish.
Answer: 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for sample size when prior estimate of population proportion (p) is available: 
, where z*= critical-value.
E= Margin of error.
Let p be the population proportion of trees are infected with the citrus red mite.
As per given , we have

E= ± 0.08
The critical z-value corresponding to 90% confidence level = z*=1.645
Substitute all the values in the above formula , we get
Required sample size :

[Rounded to next integer.]
Thus, the minimum sample size should be taken =68
Use vertical pipes around the value.
Example:
abs(-4) = |-4| = 4
