Simplifying
9x + -3(x + 8) = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
9x + -3(8 + x) = 6x + -24
9x + (8 * -3 + x * -3) = 6x + -24
9x + (-24 + -3x) = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 9x + -3x = 6x + -24
Combine like terms: 9x + -3x = 6x
-24 + 6x = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 6x = -24 + 6x
Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 24 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
6x = 0 + 6x
6x = 6x
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
6x + -6x = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
e = 250 + 15m
Step-by-step explanation:
The earnings or "e" are determined by the solution of the $250 he's earned from the start and the $15 he earns are dependent on the amount of mattresses he's sold so "m" has to be multiplied by the 15.

Answer:
<em /> <em />
<em />

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
In 1990; Income= $39000
In 2010; Income= $70768
Solving (a): An equation in form of f(x) = ax + b
First, we need to determine the slope, a

Taking y as income and x as year index.
When x = 0; y = 39000
When x = 20; y = 70768
Substitute these values in the above formula



Next, is to determine the formula using:

<em>Considering :When x = 0; y = 39000, we have</em>
<em /> <em />
<em />
<em /> <em />
<em />
<em>Make y the subject of formula</em>
<em /> <em />
<em />
<em />
<em>Express y as a function of x</em>
<em /> <em />
<em />
Solving (b): Income in 2005
<em>In 2005, x = 15</em>
So:
 becomes
 becomes
