-31 - 4x = 5 - 5 ( 1 + 5x )
-31 - 4x = 5 - 5 - 25x
-31 - 4x = -25x
+ 31 to both sides
-4x = 6
/ -4 to both sides
x = 6/-4 = 3/-2
Answer:
Caroline buys 3 packs of candles and 5 packs of holders.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) You need to add numbers of candle packs together until they both reach the same number, for example, multiples of 30 are 30, 60, 90.
2.) Then you add multiples of the holders. 18, 36, 54, 72, 90.
3.) You find that Caroline buys 3 pakcs of candles and 5 packs of holders to have the same number of both.
Answer:
Look at the equations:
y
=
−
9
x
−
21
and
y
=
5
x
+
7
Because both equations equal (y), they both equal the same.
If an equations says "
y
=
−
9
x
−
21
" , that means we can replace (y) with
−
9
x
−
21
.
Therefore when i take the equation:
y
=
5
x
+
7
, we can replace (y) to get:
−
9
x
−
21
=
5
x
+
7
Now isolate (x):
−
9
x
−
21
=
5
x
+
7
⇔
−
21
=
14
x
+
7
⇔
−
28
=
14
x
⇔
x
=
−

A slope of 1/2 means for every two units to the right we move up one.
We have to be careful here because the graphs don't always use the same scale for x and y.
The bottom left uses the same scale and does indeed go two units to the right for every unit up, so that one is the answer.
