The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let 
and 
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that 
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that 
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system
We can use the first equation to substitute in the second
And then solve for :
For the second problem, let 
and 
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b
Isolate the y. First subtract 10x from both sides
10x (-10x) + 2y = 8 (-10x)
2y = -10x + 8
Isolate the y. Divide 2 from both sides and <em>all</em> terms.
(2y)/2 = (-10x + 8)/2
y = -5x + 4
y = -5x + 4 is your slope intercept form answer.
hope this helps
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
find out the slope
m = (3-3)/(4-7)
m = 0
so the line is horizontal
passing through the point (x,3)
x can be any value
so the equation is
y = 3
Answer:
