Change x-2y=8 to y=mx+b

1 answer:

5 0

To answer the question above, transpose x to the right hand side of the equation,
-2y = -x + 8

Since it is desired to free y of any numerical coefficients, divide both sides of the equation by -2 giving,
y = (1/2)x - 4

Thus, the obtained equation is the answer with m and b equal to 1/2 and -4, respectively.

A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 35 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The correct question is
A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether, what weight of candies did they eat?

let
x-------> total weight of candies
we know that

x=(3/20)*x+1.2+(3/5)*x+0.3
x=(3/20)*x+(3/5)*x+1.5----> multiply by 20----> 20x=3x+12x+30
20x=15x+30
20x-15x=30
5x=30
x=6 lb

the answer is
6 lb
