Answer:
It comes down to what the equals sign means. It means, that the two things mentioned on either side of the equation are the same thing. If you do something to the left side, you have presumably changed it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps, If it did, then I would really appreciate it if you gave me Brainliest, I only need one more to rank up and it has taken forever to get to where I am currently. Thanks.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the greater number and
be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

So, we have the follwing system:

From the first equation, we can derive
, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

Answer:
m = 2/3
y-intercept: 2
Explanation:
First convert this equation into standard form by distributing the 6y and -4x from the coefficient of 2, and then putting the variables in order.
This equation should be in the form: Ax + By = C (Standard form)
y = -Ax/B + C/B : y = mx + b (Slope intercept form)
2(6y - 4x) = 24 → 12y - 8x = 24
→ -8x + 12y = 24 → -8x = -12y + 24 → 8x = 12y - 24 → <em>8x - 12y = -24</em>
<u>8</u>x <u>- 12</u>y = <u>-24</u>

A B C
Once you have standard form, you are ready to convert this into slope intercept by isolating the y completely.
8x - 12y = -24
-8x -8x
(First through the subtraction property of equality, remove 8x from both sides so that -12y is by itself on the left)
-12y = -8x - 24
×-1 ×-1 ×-1
(Through the identity property of negative 1, remove the negative sign from all of the numbers because a negative times a negative is a positive)
12y = 8x + 24
(Lastly, through the division property of equality, divide all sides by 12 because it is the coefficient of y, which will solve for the variable)
Given: ax-by>c
Subtract ax on both sides: -by>-ax+c
Divide both sides by -b: y<(-ax+c)/-b
Simplify: y<(ax-c)/b
your answer: y<(ax-c)/b
Okay. The prices are definitely not the same. At the Snack Shop, granola bars cost $1.25 and granola bars cost $1.30 at Sports Field. By looking at the tenths place, you can tell that 1.25 < 1.30, because 2 is less than 3. So the Snack Shop sells granola bars at a lower price. The answer is C: Snack Shop.
