7= 16 + 3x
7-16 = 3x
-9 = 3x
x = (-9)/(3)
x = -3
Part A: it is linear because it is not curving and it consists of straight lines.
Part B: in side A it is increasing because it has a positive slope. In side b it is constant because the slope is 0 since it is straight. Finally, side C is decreasing because the slope is negative.
Part C: during side A the ant is crawling out of the hole in 2 seconds. After that, the ant stops for 2 more seconds as shown in side B. Then, he crawls back into the hole as shown by the decrease in distance due to the slope.
Hope this helps!!!
Answer: there is only one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
