Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8 - 2x = 2
- 2x = 2 - 8
- 2x = - 6
- x = - 6/2
- x = - 3
x = 3
To get this, take 0.10 x 145 = 14.5
This equation basically says that a number plus 3/5 equals 2 so we can simply:
2 - 3/5 = x
Therefore x equals 1 & 2/5 or 1.4
The graph should look the the one I attached to this answer
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis)
