percent means parts out of 100
13%=13/100=0.13
'of' means mutiply
Tom=13% of 4
tom=0.13 times 4
tom=0.52 lb
Lisa=0.6 lb

Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
I did a for #42
2(x-5)=3x+5
simplify
2x-10=3x+5
subtract 2x from both sides
-10=3x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
-15=3x
divide both sides by 3
-5=x
The best estimate would be 121/15 = 8.1
The "x" intercept is found when you plug in "0" for "y"
-6x + 3(0) = 18.9
-6x = 18.9 (Divide both sides by -6)
x = - 3.15
(-3.15, 0) is your x-intercept
Now plug in "0" for the x
-6(0) + 3y = 18.9
3y = 18.9 (Divide both sides by 3)
y = 6.3
(0, 6.3) is your y - intercept
