Answer:

a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax − 4 = 2y

We need to get the equation is slope intercept form  y= mx+b.

Lets solve for y

Divide each side by 2

a/2 x - 4/2 = 2y/2

a/2 x -2 = y

or y=a/2 x -2

The slope is a/2 and the y intercept is -2

We want a slope of 2  so a/2 =2

a/2=2

Multiply each side by 2

a/2 * 2 =2*2

a =4

Answer:

A1) 125

A2) 47.5%

B) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember 'of' in this sentence means times(*). % shows a certain number/100.

a1) 48% 'of' what number is 60?

(let unknown number be x)

48/100 *x=60

Solve the equation, and the answer is x=125

a2) what percentage 'of' 120 is 57?

(let the unknown percentage be x)

(x/100)*120=57

x=47.5%

b) 24 students= 80% of the total number of students

1%=24/80

100% of the total number of students=30

So, there are total of 30 students
