The answer is x*2 equals negative 2
5x-3=21-x
6x=24
X=4
You simply have to isolate the variable and then divide by 6 so that x is completely alone.
Answer:
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Convert to point slope form</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m: represents what the slope is
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
<u>Distribute -4/3</u>
-4/3 * x = -4/3x
-4/3 * 1 = -4/3
y - 7 = -4/3x - 4/3
<u>Add seven in both sides</u>
21/3 -4/3 = 17/3
y = -4/3x + 17/2
<u>Answer</u>
linear equation: y = -4/3x + 17/2
point-slope form: y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
A point on the graph (for train b) that is exact is (2,250). From the origin, the rise is 250 and the run is 2. Rise/run would give us 250/2, which is 125. This means that train B travels 125mi every hour. For train A, we subtract the distance from hour 2 from hour 3 to get the miles per hour (because 3-2=1, subtracting the distance of hour 3 from 2 will give us the distance in 1 hour). 180-120= 60, meaning train A travels at 60mph. 60<125, meaning A
