I'm pretty sure it is.
If i'm wrong, I'm truly sorry
Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.
2/3x - 80 = 1/2x
Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.
(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x
1/6x - 80 = 0
Add 80 to both sides of the equation.
(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80
1/6x = 80
Divide both sides by 1/6.
(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6
x = 480
So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
Y = -3x + b
Plug in point
-4 = -3(3) + b
-4 = -9 + b, b = 5
Solution: y = -3x + 5
Answer:
y = 23/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both sides of equation
7 = y + -2/3
Flip equation
y + -2/3 = 7
Add 2/3 to both sides
y + -2/3 + 2/3 = 7 + 2/3
y = 23/3
Answer:
c=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3c+8=14
subtract 8 from both sides
3c=6
divide both sides by 3
c=2
