X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

Slope of the line = (0- -5) / 6-3) = 5/3

in point slope form the equation is

y - 0 = 5/3( x - 6)

y = 5/3x - 10

multiply through by 3:-
3y = 5x - 30
In Standard form this is
