At the beginning of the bake sale merry set aside two pies for herself Kate bought half of the remaining pies for a birthday par

nirvana33 [79]

So.. .at the beginning of the sale, there was a total of "x" pies

now, let's see what happened to those pies
$\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
&pies\\\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\\

Mary&x-2\\\\
Kate&\cfrac{x-2}{2}\\\\
\textit{pies sold}&10\\\\
\textit{pies leftover}&14
\end{array}$

so, we had "x"
then Mary took 2, she left x - 2
Kate took half of that (x-2)/2
then 10 were sold, and 14 leftover

if we subtract all those figures, and solve for "x",
we should get what "x" was, so $\bf (x-2)-\left( \cfrac{x-2}{2} \right)-10-14=0$

notice, if we subtract what Mary took, and Kate, and the sold and leftover, from the original "x", we would end up with no pies :)

so.. just solve for "x"

How do I graph y = 9x?

Sliva [168]

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. since there is no b term, the y intercept is 0. since there is a 9 in the m term, your slope will be nine. based on those two things, you need a point at (0,0) and (1,9). on the other end, your point will be (-1,-9). then draw a straight line through. hope this helps :)
