y = m x + b is a linear equation.
This equation is in the slope - intercept form, where m is the slope and b is y - intercept.
For example: y = 2 x + 5
In this equation: m = 2 ( the slope ) and b = 5 ( the line intercepts y-axis at the point ( 0, 5 ) ).
No.
Double 5 and add 1 is 5(2)+1 = 11
Add 1 to 5 then double it: (1+5)2 = 12
Answer:
Maggie is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
M + B = 26
B = 26 - M
4M - 4 = B
4M - 4 = 26 - M
5M = 30
M = 6
