The answer is 73 because , 5+8=13 black times 4=52 red so

8 blue + 13 black + 52 red = 73 markers in all

Bethany says that 3x+6+x and 3(x+2) and equivalent expressions. She used substitution to support her answer. Explain what Bethan

Vinvika [58]

She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.

Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).

Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6

Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through (-1,6) and (3,-2)

pochemuha

<h2>Answer:</h2>

First, we need to use <u><em>slope formula*</em></u> to find the slope.

$m = \frac{-2 - 6}{3 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2$

Second, we use the slope we found and <em>ONE</em> of the 2 points listed and plug it into <u><em>slope-intercept form**</em></u> to solve for <u><em>b</em></u>.

Here is what we have so far:

$m = -2$

I'm going to use this point:

$x = 3$

$y = -2$

Here is how to find <em>b</em>:

$-2 = -2(3) + b\\\\-2 = -6 + b\\\\4 = b$

Finally, we put all of it together and we have our equation.

$y = -2x + b$

*Slope formula: <em>m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁</em>

**Slope-intercept form: <em>y = mx + b</em>

<em></em>
