Answer:
b= 5/4 or 1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
First I will make 1 3/4 into an improper fraction
1/2 + b = 7/4
Then I will make the fractions have common denominators
2/4 + b = 7/4
I subtract 2/4 from 7/4
b= 5/4
Answer: x - 3y = -2
x = -2 + 3y
x - 3y = 16
x = 16 + 3y
Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours
Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,
⇒ 
And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
⇒ 
According to the question,
Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles
⇒ 

⇒

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = -
, hence
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 3, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = 2 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 2 = - 3
y = -
x - 3 ← is the equation of the line
