Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (x - 5) + 7x = 65
3x - 15 + 7x = 65
10x - 15 = 65
10x = 80
x = 8
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
This looks like point-slope form, which I find personally hideous. Let's change it to slope-intercept form to ease my conscience. (remember that slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept!)
y - 5 = -4(x-8)
y - 5 = -4x + 32
y = -4x + 37
It's in slope-intercept form now! And -4 looks to be our m.
<u>So the slope is -4.</u>
Y - y1 = m( x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1);
We have m = (6-0)/(7-5) = 6 / 2 = 3 ;
The equation of the line is: y - 0 = 3(x-5);
Finally: y = 3x - 15.
