Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(1/3) x = (5/6)
Discussion:
I think you are asking for this equation:
(1/3) x = (5/6) => multiply both sides by 3
(1/3) 3 x = (5/6) 3 => as (1/3) *3 = 1
x = 5*3/6
x= 15/6
x = 5/2 = 2.5
Thank you,
MrB

slope = rise/run
tip... you have to crawl (run) before you run (rise) .
you can use the slope formula

1/4
The $44 meal was charged before Janine reported it as stolen. So the money would have left the account before the bank put any blocks on the credit card. So as a result, Janine is responsible for paying $44
You can't find the exact value of y, but you can find y in terms of x!
Adding 3y and subtracting 8 from both sides, we have:
2x-3y+3y-8=8+3y-8
2x-8=3y
Dividing by 3, we see that y=(2x-8)/3. This is the simplest form we can find for y.
