The 3rd selection is appropriate.
.. 5b +1 = a = 3b +5
by the transitive property of equality,
.. 5b +1 = 3b +5
105 - 90 = 15kg
500g = 1/2 kg
Peter is 15kg overweight.
15 x 2 = 30
It will take him 30 weeks for this.
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
What b represents here is the y intercept.
The first thing we will do here is to find the slope.
Mathematically;
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plugging the values;
m = (12-3)/(7-4) = 9/3 = 3
The equation can thus be written as;
y = 3x + b
To get b, we can use any of the points since they lie on the line
Let’s use point M
Substitute the values of x and y in the equation
3 = 3(4) + b
3 = 12 + b
b = 3-12 = -9
16 is the greatest common denominator
You can soustracte the first or the second one
and y cancel
x = 6
now you put 6 in x
you can take the first or the second one
6 - y = -2
6 - y = -2
y = -8
