Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
7(2x - 5) = 21
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 7: 2x - 5 = 3
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 2x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 7(2(4) - 5) = 21
- Multiply: 7(8 - 5) = 21
- Subtract: 7(3) = 21
- Multiply: 21 = 21
Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.
∴ x = 4 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:
the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2/3 (x +6)-5
Answer: if this is supposed to be in slope-intercept form
the equation would be: y = -2/5x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
so the slope is: -2/5 and the point is (10,3) considering that x = 10 and y = 3
so we would plug this information into this equation: y = mx + b (slope-intercept form)
3 = -2/5(10) + b
3 = -4 + b
b = 7
and if we plug this in:
y = -2/5x + 7
