To solve for y, isolate the variable to one side.
9x+3y=4
-9x -9x
~~~~~~~~
3y= -9x+4
~~~~~~~~
3y= -9x+4 (Divide both sides by 3)
y=-3x+4
Twice a increased by the cube of a equals b :
2a + a^3 = b
It can be a decimal or fraction. An integer HAS to be a whole number.
-2, 10, and 4300 are integers
8.4, -0.14568, and 1/2 are not integers
178 sundaes were sold in July.
To calculate a percentage, we convert to a decimal by dividing by 100. So 23% = 0.23
145 x 0.23 = 33.35 This is how many more sundaes were sold in July than June. We need to add the 145 sold in June to the increased number to find July’s total.
145 + 33.35 = 178.35
You can’t sell .035/ roughly a third of a sundae, so we round to the whole number.
