Where is the grid are u gonna take a pic?
Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!
Hello
the line passes by A ( 0 ; -2) and B (5 ; 0) equation : y = ax+b
a is a slop : a = (yb - ya)/(xb -xa)
a = (0+2)/(5-0)
a =2/5
y = (2/5)x+b
if x=5 and y= 0
0 = (2/5)(5)+b
b= - 2
the equation is : y = (2/5)x-2
the ansewer is the third one
M can have any value because M can represent any number because it is the unknown.
