I have to repost this because the first time I was not giving correct answers.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: 18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16

First, lets distribute the -2 to the 3x and 1.

18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16

Now, we combine like terms.

12x - 2 = 5x - 16

Next, we add 2 to each side.

12x = 5x -14

Now, we subtract 5x from both sides.

7x = -14

Finally, we divide by 7 on both sides.

x = -2

Statements: Reasons:

18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16 Given

18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16 Distributive Property of Equality

12x - 2 = 5x - 16 Combine like terms

12x = 5x -14 Addition Property of Equality

7x = -14 Subtraction Property of Equality

x = -2 Division Property of Equality

Y=6x/5 +27 find y-intercept and slope

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

General equation of a line is given by y = mx +c, where m is the gradient /slope, c is the intercept. To find for the intercept on y- axis, put x = 0.
$y = \frac{6(0)}{5 } + 27 \\ y = \frac{0}{5} + 27 \\ y = 27 \\ therefore \: the \: intercept \: on \: y \: is \: 27 \\$
By comparison,
$y = mx + \: c \\ y = \frac{6}{5} x \: +27 \\ m = \frac{6}{5 \: } \: \\ hence \: slope \: is \: \frac{6}{5}$
