Answer:
x A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 38
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one number = x
Let the second number = y
x - y = 20
x must be the larger of the two numbers
x = 2y + 2 Put this equation into the equation above
2y + 2 - y = 20 Combine
y + 2 = 20 Subtract 2 from both sides
y = 20 - 2
y = 18
x - 18 = 20 Add 18 to both sides
x = 38
There are six coins already in pocket, but let’s say we don’t know it.
We would figure it out by reversing the problem. Let’s start with twenty-nine. We would subtract 5, because we are reversing. Now we have 24. Now, let’s divide by four. We would get 6.
A simpler answer would be 29 - 5 [divided by] 4 = [answer]

Answer: a. the slope is -2/5 and the y-intercept is -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope by finding the difference in x-values divided by the difference in y-values
(1/4 ,-13/30) and (-3/4, -1/30) are useful values
-13/30 --1/30 = -12/30 = -2/5 is the rise
-1/4 - -3/4 = 1 is the run (-2/5)/1 Division by 1 leaves the original numerator)
the slope is -2/5
To find the y intrcept, substitute the y and x values from any given coordinate into the slope intercept form and solve for b
y= mx + b
-3/5 = (-2/5)(2/3) + b
-9/15 + 4/15 = b
-5/15 = b
-1/3 = b This is the y-intercept
