Equation
-4x + 16 = -116
solve for x
-4x + 16 = -116
subtract 16 to both sides
-4x + 16 - 16 = -116 - 16
simplify
-4x = -132
divide -4 to both sides
-4x/-4 = -132/-4
simplify
x = 33
answer: the number is 33
I think I just had a stroke trying to read this
It opens downwards so it looks like this “n”. That is because a in the formula is a negative number in this situation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant produces
When we consider this graph as a straight line, the two points lying on the line would be
(30, 30) and (34, 28) taking n as horizontal and y vertical
Using two point equation we find that
the equation of the line is

Substitute the points as x =n

is the linear relationship between n and y
