1) 20 = -5(-3+x)
20/-5 = -3 + x 
-4 = -3 + x
-4 + 3 = x
x = -1
2)20 = -5(-3 + x)
20 = 15 - 5x
20 - 15 = - 5x
5 = -5x
5/-5 = x
x = -1

1) First way:

-5(-3+x) = 20

=> 15 - 5x = 20

=> -5x = 20 -15

=> -5x = 5

=> 
x = 5/-5

=> 
x = -1


2) Second way:

-5(-3+x)=20

=> 
-3+x = 20/-5

=> 
- 3 + x = -4

=> 
x = -4 + 3

=> 
x = -1

A group of hikers walked 2 1/4 km in 3/4 hour.The distance here varies directly with time. What is the constant of variation?
telo118 [61]

The distance depends on the time.

So now we need to find the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

To do so we must find y(the dependent variable) and x(the independent variable).

To find the constant(k) we must find y/x

Since y/x=k

Then 2.25/.75=k

k=3

Choose the point-slope form of the equation of this line.​
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

y= -5x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see points on the graph:

  • (2, -3) and (3, -8)

The function in general form is:

  • y= mx+b

Let's find the slope and y-intercept as per identified points on the graph:

  • m= (y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
  • m= (-8+3)/(3-2)= -5

b= y- mx

  • b= - 3 -(-5)*2= -3 +10= 7

Based on the found values of m and b, the given line is:

  • y= -5x +7
