X = 4

-2x - 4 + 5x = 8

Add up the X’s: 3x - 4 = 8

Isolate the X’s, Transfer -4 to the other side of the equal sign, while also flipping the sign (negative & positive): 3x = 8 + 4

Add up the 8 & 4: 3x = 12

Divide each side by 3: 3x/3 = 12/3

Final Answer: x = 4

I recommend using Photomath as it scans math problems, solves them, and shows you how it is done. It’s quite helpful.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the slope intercept form: y = mx + b.

y = y cooordinate

m = slope

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept

the y intercept is 4.

the point (1, 7) is what we're going to use.

so the new equation is

7 = m + 4 (it would be 1m, but i rewrote it to be mathmatically correct)

subtract 4 from both sides, you should have 3 = m.

the slope is 3

First box should be: 2 bc of the second statement
second box (top right): 5 bc 12 students total, subtract from rest (u do this last)
third box: 1 bc all that’s leftover from first box
fourth box (bottom right) 5 bc of third statement
basically, for two way tables each box must apply/be applied to two topics. hope this helps
