Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
A vertical line is a line that is straight up and down. It will have a constant x value. The x value will be -3 since it passes through the point (-3,-2)
x=-3
22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)
22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.
Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).
Answer:
The answer to your question is Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver 45 rocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditions
Katie has x amount of rocks
Oliver has 3x amount of rocks
The final amount of rocks
Oliver = 3x + 75
Katie = x + 105
Now, they have the same amount of rocks, then we can equal both equations
3x + 75 = x + 105
Solve for x
3x - x = 105 - 75
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
Conclusions
At first Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver had 3(15) = 45 rocks
