<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When there is a linear relationship is observed between the variables, we use  linear regression predict the relationship between them.

Also, we predict the values for dependent variable by modelling a linear model that best fits the data by drawing a line Y=a+bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable.

In other words: The line of best fit is a line through a scatter plot of data points that best describes the relationship between them.

That's why the  regression line referred to as the line of best fit.

X+6≤12+2x
x-2x≤12-6
-x≤6
-x/-1≤6/-1
because we divide by a negative number, we have to flip the sign of inequality.

X km/h = y mph
3241004551 [841]
Let's first write down the equations which we will require to solve for this problem.

Equation No. 1 -
x km/h = y mph

Equation No. 2 -
8 km/h = 5 mph

First of all, we will make y the subject by calculating the km/h when mph = 1. We will accomplish this by dividing both sides by 5 as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -
8 km/h = 5 mph
5 mph = 8 km/h
5 / 5 mph = 8 / 5 km/h
1 mph = 8 / 5 km/h

Through this, we have found out:

m = 8 / 5

We will use the y = mx formula in order to obtain our final equation. We will substitute the value given in the second equation into the formula.

y = mx
y = ( 8 / 5 ) x

Solve 6 - 2x = 3<br><br> How do I do this?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 3

(You have to subtract 6 on both sides so it can cancel out)

6 - 6 - 2x = 3 - 6

-2x = -3

(Now, you divide -2 on both sides to isolate the x)

-2/(-2)x = -3/(-2)

x = 3/2
