One way to write a line is y=mx+b, where b is a number, m is the slope of the line, and y and x are variables that you can plug numbers into. We know that we have two points, (0,5) and (10,0). To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation

Plugging this in for our points, we get

as our slope (we get -1/2 by dividing both -5 and 10 by 5 from the previous fraction), making our equation y=(-1/2)x+b. Plugging a point in to find out what b is, we get 0=(-1/2)10+b=-5+b. Adding 5 to both sides to separate the b, we get 5=b, making our equation y=(-1/2)x+5. To find out what x is for (x,2), since the y value comes second, we can plug in 2 into our equation to get 2=(-1/2)x+5. Since we want to solve for x, we have to separate it. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get -3=(-1/2)x. Since we can multiply -1/2 by its reciprocal (switching the numerator and denominator) to get 1 (and therefore x on the right sides as 1*x=x), we multiply both sides by -2 to get 6=x, making the point (6,2)

Answer:
x +0y+0z = 400
-x +y+0z = 150
-8x +0y +z = 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The last column is the solution
The rest of the columns are the coefficients of the variables
x +0y+0z = 400
-x +y+0z = 150
-8x +0y +z = 250
We have that
<span> 5x/7=22
multiply by 7 both sides
5x=22*7-------> 5x=154
divide by 5 both sides
x=154/5
x=30.8--------> x=30 4/5
the answer is
x=30 4/5</span>
