The answer is x=2. You add 6x to both sides to get 7x-9=5 then add 9 to both sides to get 7x=14. From there, you divide by 7 on both sides to get x=2.
Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
Answer:
b= -8
Step-by-step explanation:
we have: 3y +12 = 6x <=> y + 4 = 2x <=> y= 2x - 4
=> 2y=4x + b
<=> 2(2x-4) = 4x +b
<=> 4x - 8= 4x +b
<=> b = -8
