X=-1 is the answer. Hope that helps!
We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,
y = mx + b
Substituting to this given the values given above,
(1990) 430 = b
(2000) 400 = m(10) + 430
The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,
y = -3x + 430
No because it is the same but in a different way
1 inch =2.5cm
lenght =30.25×2.5=75.625cm
width = 21×2.5=52.5cm
area of painting = 75.625×52.5=3970.3125cm²
